🇷🇸 Yugoslavia 2001 – Basketball & Volleyball Winner Stamps

📅 Year of issue: 2001
📮 Theme: Basketball & Volleyball Winners — a 2‑stamp set issued by the Yugoslav postal authority to celebrate sporting achievements in basketball and volleyball.

📦 Set Composition

• 2 stamps — typically sold together as a complete set.
• Subjects:
  • Basketball Winner — celebrating Yugoslavia’s achievements in basketball around 2001 (that year FR Yugoslavia won the EuroBasket European basketball championship).
  • Volleyball Winner — honoring Yugoslav success in volleyball (the national team had notable results around the turn of the millennium).

These come in Mint Never Hinged (MNH) condition in most collector listings.

👉 The set is relatively small and thematic, typically catalogued simply as a 2‑value issue without extensive catalogue numbering in mainstream Scott/Michel listings. Many dealers list them together as “Yugoslavia 2001 Basketball & Volleyball Winner 2v set.”

📍 Collector Notes

• These stamps are often found MNH and are cataloged under Sport topics for Yugoslavia’s final decade of issues before the dissolution of the federation.
• Value: Generally modest — sets are offered affordably on online marketplaces for thematic sports collections.

🏆 Context

• The basketball stamp likely ties to significant Yugoslav basketball success (FR Yugoslavia were EuroBasket 2001 champions).
• The volleyball stamp recognizes major wins by the national volleyball team around that period (e.g., world or regional championships).
