The listing, You Could Be Jailed For Owning These! has ended.
Once one of the most prosperous countries in the Middle East, the government of the Shah was overthrown and the Shah forced to flee Iran. The new government of Iran ordered the destruction of stamps bearing the Shah's image even in personal stamp collections. Featured are four banned stamps in Iran along with two stamps from his rule. The destruction of stamps featuring the Shah have made them more collectible. This is your chance to add Shah of Iran stamps to your collection while they still can be found. Please enlarge to see the stamps the winner will be receiving. Travel advisory--don't take these stamps to Iran! Better advise, don't go there at all!
