Not sure if I like this photoshop-ish photography mixed with illustration style, but I shall wait until I have seen the actual stamps before I make up my mind.
Models were selected by a photo competition.
Now there is only one stamp issue date left for Swedish stamps 2022.
I do not trade stamp. This post is only for sharing information. Do not contact me with swap requests
Postcrossers could be seeing this 30 sen stamp being used very frequently in the future, as the denomination is perfect to pair with another stamp for postcards!
Today June 27th is available a new stamp and postmark: is about celebrating 100 years: Youth in the red cross. We were waiting a couple of stamps that we could use to send postcards however this one is just to envelopes 50 grams.
We are very happy because finally we are number 1 (sent cards from Costa Rica, and today we bought 4 new Costa Rican cards) Tomorrow we are going to send 2 of them as ID, fantastic.
Here in Spain the price of the stamps have increased a lot in the last years. The stamps have become an item for collectors not for sending letters because of their high prices. Even the stamps collectors are complaining about it. It is a pity!
Personally, I find the Pride one boring and unoriginal, and it really irks me that it’s in English. It’s slanting as a nod to the Norwegian word for queer.
The postal horn series is the oldest running stamp series in the world, and it has tons of denominations. You won’t see this one, as it’s really expensive, but you’ll see many others as make-up postage. Later this year there will be a special stamp commemorating the series as a whole.
Each stamp is a B… and sadly it’s the first issued after the recent tariff raise… it’s 1,2€ instead of the former 1,1€
Of course, older B stamps retain their value for sending domestic 20g.
