Trindad and Tobago Olympic Souvenir Stamp Sheet

Sales of olympic stamps are feared to be lower than ever before. The main reason is the decline of collectors worldwide, as the hobby slumps to a new low point. The other reason, as suggested by some experts, is that many people are refusing to acknowledge the Olympics, due to the human rights issues surrounding China.
