The
Shanghai Overprints are overlooked pieces of postal history you’ll want
in your collection. They were issued in very limited quantities,
making them hard to find today. The first overprint stamp was issued

sale in Shanghai until 1922. For modern collectors, these stamps are a
direct tie to this interesting period in US-China relations. The time
after China opened its borders to American missionaries and before it
became a Communist nation…
