Soviet Spy Stamp Collection

Now available, this incredible collection of five Soviet postage stamps, featuring famous Soviet spies. With a face value of five kopeks, this collection was issued in 1990, just months before the inevitable collapse of the Soviet Union. All five stamps are fully wrapped and shipped on a display card. The five Soviet spies honored with their own stamps were: - Rudolf Abel was caught by the FBI in New York City while part of a KGB spy network. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison but was exchanged for captured US pilot Francis Gary Powers at the Glienicke Bridge in Potsdam, Germany, in a moment that forever endowed the bridge with the sobriquet "The Bridge of Spies".  - Kim Philby is the United Kingdom's most infamous traitor. He was the most successful of the Cambridge Five spy ring, and served in Britain's MI-5 organization. During a liaison posting to Washington DC he became close friends with James Jesus Angleton, the CIA's ultra-paranoid head of counterintelligence. Philby defect
