An Iraqi philatelist shows a stamp collection during an auction in central Baghdad. The Philatelic and Numismatic Society of Iraq, established in 1951 at the time of the King, has come to life again following the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq. Official membership stands at more than 2,000, though only around 80 are active buyers and sellers with the price of stamps rising sharply.
