One for the philatelists;  http://www.royalmail.com/davidbowiestamps

I have a bundle of Ziggy album stamps in my desk from years ago. Must dig them out. Think I've got got some Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" and Clash "London Calling" ones as well. Hope I haven't used them.  

Do kids still collect stamps?

Excellent news.  They did Floyd last year, so DB this year is great news.

Simple answer to whether kids collect stamps now is "no" - they've become way too expensive and irrelevant, and it's the Devil's own job to find a post office that still sells them.

BTW, there was a splendid set of Roger Dean stamps from the Isle Of Man last year, for any Yes fans...


Don't blame me, I didn't do it!

Looks like a bit of a money grabber with that many sets for 10 stamps

got to watch or you'll only get part of them just the live or just the album covers and end up with double ups of same stamps in different packs

even though framed only available in UK thought they would of done one with all 10

what I had ordered if my kids come up and said they wanted they would get told the same as me
My sister when she heard yesterday she texted me have you got your stamps yet
probably thinking I mightn't of heard
but she got No but they're ordered so if limited are reserved. I got back You're bloody mad

Younger kids don't think that price GBP double it is our NZ$
mine have grown up so would just get asked Really, but otherwise told "No"
I haven't seen around for a long time in NZ probably as I'm not looking for one
or one in the town I live is a shop dedicated to stamp & collectors, probably all online

wonder when they post these orders out to everyone if they use Bowie stamps instead of a royal mail post office franking


Bless the Tapers and Uploaders they make the Music Live

Got a set of these today - the album ones (Hunky Dory, Aladdin Sane, "Heroes", Let's Dance, Earthling & ★).  They look pretty nice, but no idea what I'll do with them (frame them, I suppose?) as I haven't had a stamp album since I was a boy...
