Here are a pair of tripoints for
andorra-spain-france
http://exclave.info/current/ceuta/stamps/autonomousstatesmapss.jpg
There are at least two Andorra stamps with the same, "close-up".
There are probably hundreds of others.
Even Bhutan-India-Tibet.
There's one Bolivian issue with at least five tripoints on it -
Bolivia-Peru-Chile-Argentina-Paraguay-Brazil
