These
stamps are bequest made in will to a mother and her two daughters
from their husband and father. His name was Gancho Dimitrov Raichev
and he was one of the respectable philatelists in Bulgaria. During
the communist period he held intensive correspondence with other
philatelists from all-over the world covering the whole area of
philately. As a matter of fact he had a business spirit like every
philatelist who believes in his own worth, dignity and look at stamp
collecting like a professional hobby. By studying postage stamps
and related items and by setting high standards that must be met,
he succeeded in sustaining his family financially without any job.
His enjoyable activity to collect stamps and make business with
them was his primary job to the end of his life.
My
name is Damyan Yanchev Barantiev and I am the only grandson of
Gancho Dimitrov Raichev. As a boy I discovered the collection
and became enthusiastic of my parent's father hobby, who I don't
remember. For this reason I started with stamp collecting until
someone of my friends stole my small collection. It was a big
disappointment for me, because in this collection there was a
set of stamps from my grandfather's collection which I had taken
them without asking someone or permition from anyone. That's why
I decided to stop changing and grow in with my newest hobby. I
understood that I was not ready to take responsibility for my
grandfather’s collection. Well, it was may be for good.
After political reformation and with the end of communist government
in Bulgaria at the first few years so many philatelists sold there
stamps under pressure of penury and lay off.
Twenty five years
these stamps was kept in boxes and albums. For this time there
was nobody to take a look at them and make classification into
groups, until I started to do this. I ascertain the fact that
is not easy and it would take time because every stamp wants attention
to be investigated.
