Tribute

If it would not be for the work of Þór Þorsteins, collectors of Icelandic bridge cancels would be in the dark. I didn’t know him or meet him but I have studied his work, as reading the Bible. Þór must have had unwavering passion for cancels and stamps and his work has become beacon of guidance for collectors. His organized information gathering regarding bridge cancels is priceless for all collectors. On this page are his books accessible and they are the key to collecting Icelandic Bridge Cancels. Þór Þorsteins passed away 30th of October 2017.
