The new ITEM OF THE MONTH is online. Take a look

As many of you will have noticed, the Chinese postal authorities are issuing lots and lots of commemorative products for next year's Olympic Summer Games. It is not easy to get all the necessary information, and it is even more difficult (and expensive !!!) to buy all those products. Although they are issued by the official postal authorities, and although they are valid for postage, I consider them not very favourible for the stamp collecting hobby.
Nevertheless I would like to ask you all for your contributions whenever you find items that are not yet listed in the online catalogue. Thanks in advance for your help !!!
