Phonecards for Sony Gadgets including PSP, Xperia Play, etc

I have heard that British Telecom (BT) has issued some very nice phone cards on various Sony gadgets including PSP, Xperia Play, etc.

Has anyone got a complete set? I would love to swap one with you?

Aircrafts Phone Cards from Israel

A beautiful set of 5 phonecards from Israel showing great aircrafts. The 5 aircrafts shown on the phonecards are:-

• Deragon Rapid
• Harvard
• Spit Fire
• Stirman
• Uragan

The phone cards were issued on January 1' 2001 and the catalogue codes on Colnect are BZ-285-289. The card system is Landis & Gyr and each card is of 20 units. Only 200,000 copies of each card were printed. The phonecards were issued by Bezeq.
I think that I have some spares as well, if someone wants to swap. Do you want one of these?

Gorgeous Chinese Aircraft Phonecards

I absolutely love this beautiful mobile recharge phonecards set from China.

Once again these phonecards were sent by Mr Kylt Zhengge from China who sent me the Harry Potter phonecards. These aircraft phonecards show 4 top of the line military aircrafts.

Do you collect aircraft phonecards? Does anyone know which are these aircrafts??

FDC#2 from Pakistan: Centenary Celebration of Catholic Cathedral Church; Lahore; Pakistan in 2007

Today I am here to share with you a wonderful FDC featuring a very nice and historical stamp issued on the occasion of the Centenary Celebration of Catholic Cathedral Church in Lahore, Pakistan. The Catholic Cathedral Church in Lahore has a rich history to offer. This magnificent edifice was constructed by the Belgian Capuchins in a prominent place in the heart of the city and consecrated on 19^th November 1907 as the mother Church of the diocese of Lahore. It replaced the historic old Pro-Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception built in 1861 near the famous Anarkali bazaar, outside the Old City.

The stamp was of Rs 5 denomination and was issued on 19th November 2007. I have a couple of such covers available for swap if anyone is interested. I can swap it for FDCs depicting themes like Olympics, Football, etc.

Postcards #2: Holy Kaa'ba in Al-Masjid Al-Haraam, Mecca, Saudi Arabia

Here is another postcard from my collection. I have kept this post card since I was a child. This piece of collection was sent to my father by one of his friends Mr Shahid Naseem more than 20 years ago. The card was sent as a greeting card on the Eid day.

It is a 3-D sort of a card. I do not know exactly what such cards are called and I would appreciate if some of you can help me. Basically the card shows TWO different views of Holy Kaa'ba - A closed photo and a distant one. Both can be viewed by slightly moving or tilting the postcard's front side. (It was difficult to scan both images separately but one can clearly make out both the photos from the uploaded image). While a distant image is clearer in the picture, a closer look of the Kaa'ba's building can be observed towards left side of the postcard.

Although the card features the photos of Holy Kaa'ba which is located in Saudi Arabia, interestingly the postcard is "Made in Japan". On the back of the postcard, it states "Wonder Co., Tokyo, Made in Japan". I would also be grateful for some friends who can clear whether this postcard should be counted in postcard collection from Saudi Arabia or from Japan. Its manufactured in Japan but posted from Saudi Arabia.

I can also send a postcard from Afghanistan(Made in Afghanistan with landscapes or pictures of Afghanistan) to interested collectors with Pakistani Stamps for swap. Anyone interested?

Best Regards

FDC#1 from Pakistan: SAF Games Islamabad 2004

My Dear Friends!
Hello again!
I have been missing my blog for a while now. Finally I have got a scanner and I am good to go with my posts. So here is the first FDC to show you from my collection. It is one of my favorite ones.

The FDC was issued on the event of 9th SAF Games held in Islamabad, Pakistan on 29 Mar to 7 Apr 2004. For those of you who do not know the details, SAF Games stand for South Asian Federation Games. The countries included in SAARC (South Asian Association of Regional Co-operation) participate in these games. There are in fact 7 members of the organization including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Maldives and Bhutan. In April 2007, Afghanistan also joined the organization as the 8th member.

The stamp sheet issued on the occasion contained 16 stamps of value PKR2 each. On the stamps the players are featured in different sporting styles while on the border of the sheet, a bear named Baloo which was the mascot of the event is featured with the SAF Games Torch. Baloo can also be seen on each stamp in the background in different sporting postures.

I also attended the opening and the closing ceremonies held in the Jinnah Stadium Islamabad and it was some real great time. Especially the fire works performed by a teamof specialists from China was brilliant.

Please pray for my dad!!!

My dear friends!
Hello!
I hope and pray that you all are fine and happy.
I have been away from my blog for quite sometime now.
My dad had a heart attack about ten days back, so I was at home with my family. He remained admitted in the hospital for some days before undergoing angiography followed by an angioplasty procedure.
By the grace of God, everything is fine now.
I would request all my collector friends to please pray for his health and happiness.
May God bless you all and we can continue swapping everything from stamps, phonecards, FDCs, coins to any item imaginable.
If you need any collectible from Pakistan, please feel free to contact me on faisalcheema44@gmail.com
Best Regards

Happy to visit the Post Office again

Hello!
It has really been a nice day and I visited the General Post Office at Rawalpindi, Pakistan after a long time away from stamps and FDCs. I found a number of nice miniature sheets on the late Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto(1953-2007) who was murdered last year on 27 December 2008 during a political rally.

Today I also laid my hands on the commemorative coin featuring Benazir Bhutto. It's a Rupees 10 coin with a crescent and star on one side and the portrait of Benazir Bhutto on the other side. The inscription on the coin says "Daughter of the East - Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto Shaheed".

Do any of you want these stamps in any form - Miniature sheets, FDC, mint stamp?

If yes contact me on faisalcheema44@gmail.com with an offer.

Happy Collecting
