Do you have these stamps in your collection ?

11 new beautiful stamps are issued in month of July 2014 by India-Post which are depicted here for ready reference. Under MY-Stamp series III, 10 sheetlets are issued with total 11 stamps. From personal survey, it has been surprisingly found that 95% of Indian postage stamp collectors have not included  the 44 stamps issued under 3 different My-Stamp series since 2011; in their collection. Without prejudice to the price of individual stamp and the availability of the same, the fact remains that without these postage stamps, the collection of Indian commemorative stamps remains incomplete.
