US Post Office Star Wars Set

By Michele Neylon on January 30, 2008 1:52 AM | 8 Comments
I don't keep track of the US post office's stamp releases, though I really ought to, as they release some really lovely stamps every year.

They did a set of Star Wars themed stamps which look really tasty:

Royal Mail Celebrate James Bond

I've been a James Bond fan for as long as I can remember and I also love stamps.

When I heard that Royal Mail were doing a special release this year to celebrate the centenary of Ian Fleming's birth I was really excited.

The issue is simply gorgeous (the image from the Royal Mail site really doesn't do it justice).

Rather than limit myself to the first day covers I also opted for the mint stamps set and both overprint options. I guess in philatelic terms that's a bit nerdy ! But they are amazing.

Check out the Royal Mail site for more details on the issue

Royal Mail Beatles Stamps

By Michele Neylon on January 12, 2007 1:10 AM | 2 Comments
Royal Mail Beatles Stamps (image from Royal Mail site) One of my hobbies when I was younger was collecting stamps. I've started collecting FDCs (first day covers) recently and am subscribed to both the Royal Mail and An Post philately services. The Royal Mail's most recent issues is a truly beautiful hommage to The Beatles. They really went to a lot of trouble, with the cancellation featuring the shape of a guitar (if my digital camera was charged I'd have taken a photo)
