In September 2007 issue of Scott Stamp Monthly, Charles Snee presents some covers, philatelic result of his afghan journey while serving his tour of duty.
In January 2007, in post offices of Afghanistan, you find stamps whose dates of issue can spread over more than fifty years : from the 20 poul "Buddha of Bamian" to nowadays stamps (the link connects to the WNS Afghan page).
Thank to this mail, he obtained stamps of the 2000's that Scott catalog hadn't referenced until then, certainly because the editors didn't have the proof of actual postal use.
I strongly advice you to read the "From the Scott Editors" section of this magazine. During my first three months of subscription, each article was a surprising enlightment of what is the serious writing of a stamp catalog.
