Well, there are "releases" and there are "releases"! And I can think of some that are actually better than buying postal history, but not much better! 
In any event, can we see your purchases? Netherlands and Netherlands Indies are among my collecting interests.
Here are a couple of fairly mundane but nice covers in my collection, a postwar first-flight cover (Curaçao to Amsterdam) and an air-race cover (London to Christchurch). A friend of mine probably was on that Curaçao-to-Amsterdam flight.

Bob, i can certainly show you some of my Netherlands ! I am new to collecting the Netherlands Indies and the album i acquired recently does not contain Curacao so i am not actively working on that area. At one time i was not really interested in the stamps of the Netherlands but then 1) I met my wife 2) i loved the "for the childrend" semi postals !

If it's a monster I've created, I hope it's a benign, even friendly monster!
Below is a sheet from a still-born, one-frame exhibit that will be called (assuming I ever finish it) "Intersections: Stamps, covers, and Postcards cross Paths with Literature and Poetry". It's a challenge find poems and excerpts from fiction and non-fiction that will leave space for collateral covers and stamps. But I like a challenge; just like carbon under pressure, perhaps I will turn into a diamond! 
I've done your eyes a favour by scanning just the text to the left of the cover. That image is below the exhibit sheet.
It's interesting (and sad) to realize that today's Afghanistan is a sad shadow of the Afghanistan of the 1950s, although there is little doubt that Western "incursions" into Afghanistan are the main reason for its current terrible problems.
