Papal Trip Collections
John Paul II Trips
What are Papal Trip Collections?
When the Pope visits a country a collection is issued by dealers to commemorate the visit. The collection is usually made of covers cancelled in cities visited by the Pope during his visit. The set may contain postcards, special non-philatelic souvenir sheets or an air letter. A set of covers covers may also be added, which are cancelled on the date the Pope leaves and returns to the Vatican. An annual collection is also created for travels within Italy.
