The crypto-stamp hype continues: By quoting an even higher appraisal, this new edition of the MICHEL title Mediterranean Countries takes the growing sales prices of the crypto-sheetlet from Gibraltar into account.
The price increases of the “regular“ issues featured in this edition, on the other hand, are undoubtedly moderate yet understandable at first glance. Especially when it comes to contemporary stamps, the appeal of the motif has become the decisive factor in regards to the value of a stamp. For that reason the cancelled and mint specimens of three Maltese stamps with Michel Numbers 1354–1356 that were issued on the occasion of the 2004 Olympic Summer Games in Athens in classic designs have seen higher quotations as compared to last year’s previous edition. Most fans of philately, however, will probably appreciate these literally “classic“ collectors‘ items more than the undoubtedly speculative crypto-stamps. Photos: Malta MiNo. 1354, 1355 and 1356 |

The Michel Catalog Mittelmeerländer 2022/2023 (E9) is Number 9 of the sixteen volumes that make up our Europe series. It features the popular collection areas of Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus and Turkey.
It offers friends of classic philately a vast collection area with the issues of the 19th and early 20th centuries. These countries are also a true treasure chest for collectors of motifs. Practically all popular themes and motifs are generously represented. Yet stamps are no longer rectangular pieces of paper used to pay a service in advance. For several years the postal administrations have been breathing new life into philately by introducing fancy formats, unusual printing methods and new materials.
The editorial improvements are distributed throughout the whole reference book. The discovery of a new perforation among classic Turkish issues, for instance, is quite notable. We have also added more photos to that area that will make it easier for collectors to identify their philatelic treasures.
The revision and updating of price quotations was one editorial focal point. We have noted increases in value among several interesting motifs from Malta and Turkish Cyprus as of 2000. The limited blocks issued by Turkey have registered a lot of fluctuation. Collectors should keep a close eye on these items. Particularly the crypto-stamp sheetlet issued by Gibraltar has generated a lot of interest, as the staggering price quotation shows.
This edition contains all novelties introduced in MICHEL Rundschau up to and including No. 6/2022. We recommend a subscription to our journal, starting with No. 7/2022, or to MICHEL Online if you want to stay updated. Besides recording all novelties, MICHEL Rundschau provides information about anything of significance in the world of philately.
We wish our readers a fun-filled and relaxing pastime with their own collections and the new Michel Catalog Mittelmeerländer 2022/2023 (E9).
Schwaneberger Publishing House
The Editorial Team
Users of the MICHEL catalogs value the comprehensive and detailed listings of collectable items. The MICHEL catalogs are among the best in the world when it comes to details, comprehensiveness and illustration. MICHEL products have been awarded well over 600 medals (including 31 gold), diplomas and honorary prizes in the course of the company’s history. The expertise of the Schwaneberger publishing house’s staff is outstandingly represented in the MICHEL catalogs.
The colourful, varied range of products includes standard and special-edition catalogues for Germany, Europe and overseas. There is also philatelic literature, the MICHEL-Exklusiv album, the MICHEL Colour Guide, the MICHEL-Lux examination lamp and the MICHEL-Rundschau monthly magazine. More than 85 different products in total.
MICHEL also enjoys a good reputation in electronic publishing thanks to various software programs, websites and e-catalogs. It is no wonder that the MICHEL catalogs have been known for years as the “philatelists’ bible”. However, bearing this accolade brings with it the responsibility of always remaining at the top with regard to quality.
The 669,000th MICHEL catalog number was issued recently. A look at the most important of the 85 different MICHEL catalogs reveals that the catalogues for Europe and overseas alone make up some 25,000 catalog pages. They contain 314,000 pictures and 1,800,000 price quotations. Most of this information is stored in powerful picture and text databases and is consulted, revised and corrected for each new edition of a MICHEL catalog. And of course that also applies to each individual page, irrespective of which MICHEL catalog it comes from. MICHEL goes to great lengths on its customers’ behalf. MICHEL’s editorial team spends an average of 45 minutes on research for each new set of stamps. Around 18,000 new stamps appear each year, which are then catalogued and published in the MICHEL-Rundschau, as well as in the relevant MICHEL catalog and online catalogue.
It is more than 100 years since the stamp dealer Hugo MICHEL from Apolda in Thüringen published the first MICHEL stamp catalogue in 1909. He thereby created a product that would be continually be improved, but never surpassed. In the same year, publisher and philatelic editor Hugo Schwaneberger founded a publishing company that bore his name. The philatelist, who was well known in his field, created the Schwaneberger Album, the first album to adopt a scientific approach.
Owing to the great demand for MICHEL catalog, Hugo MICHEL was no longer able to dedicate himself to his career as a stamp dealer. He therefore sold the rights to the publisher Schwaneberger. The catalogue, which had only covered Europe until that point, was expanded by the new publishing house to include overseas countries.Hugo MICHEL continued to edit the catalogue supplement, which is today known as the MICHEL-Rundschau. The company was then bought by the publisher Eugen Berlin. He moved it to Munich in 1950 where he came across a company, the Carl Geber printing works (now the Gerber Satz und Gerber publishing house) that was able to draw up the complicated catalogue typesetting. The publishing rights went to the Hohenester/Gerber families who assigned them to the publishing house, now trading as the “Schwaneberger Verlag”.
At the turn of the century other stamp catalogues had already appeared, but the remarkable success of the MICHEL catalog was attributed to its sophisticated and comprehensive cataloguing system. The stamps were numbered successively from the first number for each country, yet at the same time organised according to various sub-categories and genres, and described as fully as possible. This system was refined over the years and adapted where necessary - but never had to be changed! In fact, the MICHEL numbering system has become standard in Germany. This is underscored by the numerous licence contracts that the Schwaneberger Verlag has concluded with other publishers. All stock lists of German dealers are organised according to the MICHEL numbering system. Collectors exchange, buy and sell using MICHEL numbers.
