	Welcome to Rainer's
	Tibet Pages

These pages are dedicated to the fascinating stamps and postal History of Tibet.

You might ask, why I am doing this as it takes a lot of time to create and maintain the following Pages. I am member of many Philatelic Association and see that the average age of the collectors is getting higher and higher. These areas are not very popular in the normal associations where mostly the countries are discussed and collected in which the association is located. On the other hands, many young collectors are hooked up to the Internet and can find here a place where to get information’s, ideas about other countries to collect and much more. Even discussion forums can be found where certain related topics are discussed specifically.

If I can encourage only one collector to start collecting the stamps and postal history of Tibet I will very happy and proud...
