📮 Czechoslovakia – 1964 Tokyo Olympic Stamps

Issue context:

• Czechoslovakia issued a commemorative set of stamps for the XVIII. Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo (October 10–24, 1964). These are official postage stamps celebrating the event.

Typical set composition:

• The issue generally consists of a set of 6 stamps, each showing different Olympic sports themes (e.g., cycling, football, swimming, etc.).
• In standard philatelic catalogues, these are often listed with Scott/Michel/Yvert catalog numbers for identification.

Catalog listings (examples):

• Some examples of the individual stamps include:
  • 60 h denomination — often shows a sports theme (e.g., cycling).
  • 80 h denomination — another sport design in the same series.

📜 Minisheet / Sheetlet (MSS)

• There isn’t strong evidence in major stamp catalog listings that Czechoslovakia issued a commemorative minisheet or souvenir sheet for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics (a minisheet being a small group of stamps printed together with decorative margins).
• Most references show individual stamps or complete sets, but not a distinct MSS souvenir sheet from the Czechoslovak postal authority in that year. That suggests either:
  ✓ No official Olympic minisheet was issued by Czechoslovakia in 1964, or
  ✓ If one exists, it is very rare/not widely catalogued in mainstream stamp catalogues.

📌 How They’re Catalogued

• In stamp catalogs, these Olympic issues are often under the heading like “Summer Olympic Games 1964 – Tokyo” with catalog numbers for each stamp.
• Sets are typically sold as 6-stamp sets and can be found used (cancelled) or MNH/MUH depending on condition.
