Stamp Details
The set features soccer-themed designs tied to the tournament, available as mint never hinged (MNH) collectibles. Listings show them sold for around €3, appealing to philatelists focused on sports and Balkan postal history.
During 2002 qualifiers, Bosnia finished 4th in UEFA Group 7 with limited success, yet the stamps celebrated the global event. This aligns with European nations’ tradition of issuing World Cup stamps, often highlighting emblems or matches.
These stamps are sought after in philatelic markets like Delcampe, valued for scarcity from Mostar issues. Condition (MNH) and full sets enhance appeal for thematic collections on football or 2002 Korea-Japan Cup.
