  1. Dear seller,
    I am interested in these wooden stamps of 2020. Can you explain to me how I can purchase these stamps.
    Kind regards
    Hans van Krugten

    1. Dear Mr. Hans van Krugten, the Korea Stamp Society is not a seller of Korean stamps. You may get a reply from some members of the KSS who sell North Korean stamps or you can look for these on online auction/shops that list stamps. Robert
