Meghdoot Cards

In response to the topic on the Meghdoot cards, I would like to add that I find these cards very attractive. I have chatted with Raghavendra in our chat room at http://www.ipdaonline.org and in the past bought some of these cards from him. Well, over 100 of them actually .

The question was raised, does Portugal issue this type of card? Well, I can't answer for Portugal, but, one thing that comes to mind when I see these Meghdoot cards is Belgium. Belgium produces cards that are called "Publibel" cards and they have advertising on the left side of them where the right side is left for postage, very similar to the Meghdoot cards. There is a specialized catalogue for the Publibel cards but it is expensive but worth it.

My questions to Raghavendra are : How long has India been producing these cards? Is there a specialized catalogue that lists these and other India postal stationery?

I find these cards quite interesting to say the least.

Happy collecting

If it is full of holes, keep it, it might be a perfin.

MEGHDOOT Postal Stationery

Indian MEGHDOOT Postal Stationery

Above you can see an image of an Indian MEGHDOOT Postal Stationery on women's health that I've received today in the mail.

1st MEGHDOOT Postal Stationery was issued on 02.09.2002 depicting Rajinikanth (Indian Movie Actor). Have you ever seen any of his movies? If so, let me know!

THE FEATURES OF THE MEGHDOOT POSTAL CARD ARE UNIQUE .

1. It's priced at 25 Paisa, half the regular postal card price.

2. Half of the space available on front of the card is available for advertisement (images with 4 colors).

3. The price of the advertisement is Rs. 200 per card.

Very interesting don't you think?

I just wonder...

Why doesn't Portugal have similar Postal Stationery fees?
