Brief Description:

A brief description of the Most Popular Topics of this Release are: Sports, in particular the Volleyball, and Basketball Sports, as this series celebrate the Centenaries of both Uruguayan Federations of these Sports, the Federación Uruguaya de Voleybol, and Federación Uruguaya de Basketball respectively. Taking this into account, more specific Topics of this release could be Uruguayan Volleyball, Uruguayan Basketball, and even Centenarian Sport Federations, or Centenarian Volleyball Federations and Centenarian Basketball Federations too.

Then, looking more at the desing of the Issue, at first sight only minor Topics arise, as Balls, with Volleyball Balls and Basketball Balls, also Hands, Nets, Stripes, Basket, Backboard, and the Logotypes of both Centenaries, and the one of the FIVB, the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (International Federation of Volleyball) in the Volleyball Ball.

However, the most interesting part of the desing, regarding Topic inclusion, is the inclusion of the Logotype of the International Philatelic Exhibition called "Fin del Mundo", in English, "End of the world", named this way as it is held on Río Grande City, in Tierra del Fuego, a small city in the Southest part of Argentina Country, near the South Pole. That inclusion, besides adding Philatelic Exhibitions, and Argentinian Philatelic Exhibitions, also adds Lighthouses and Navigational Aids Topics, as a Stylized Lighthouse takes most of the Philatelic Exhibition Logotype Design.

If you consider that there are another topics in this stamp, that were not spot in this review, you are encouraged to telling me about them, so please do not hesitate to post a comment. I would appreciate your help very much.
