So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.
I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin. #Nunavut#Arctic#Stamps#philately#CanadaPost
Price of a domestic stamp in a booklet, coil or pane would rise to 99 cents
Canada Post is proposing to increase postage rates in 2024. For stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, which represent the majority of stamp sales, the rate would increase by seven cents, to 99 cents per stamp.
The new rates would take effect May 6, 2024.
Permanent stamps will always be accepted at the current domestic postage price.
The proposed rate changes would also affect other products, including U.S., international letter-post and domestic Registered Mail items. The price of a single stamp for a domestic letter (30 grams or less) would increase from $1.07 to $1.15. When purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, the price would increase from 92 cents to 99 cents per stamp.

6-cent stamp depicts Sir Francis #Bacon, with "z" in "colonization" reversed. A correct version also exists. Also, Sir Francis Bacon became Lord Verulam, though Lord Bacon is sometimes used. #stamps#philately#stampcollecting
A nice - if simple - design from Thailand Post on today's issue (2023-12-05): National Day 2023, an annual issue. This design features the Thai national flag with yellow flowers from the cassia tree, the national tree of Thailand. #philately#Thailand 🇹🇭

Another collectible from the Thai Stamp Exhibition: souvenir sheet of 140th Anniversary of Thai Stamp Commemorative Stamps. These stamps (issued 2023) feature the first Thai (Siam) public stamp issue in 1883 - nice "stamp on stamp" topic and my favourite issue this year. #Thailand 🇹🇭 #philately
I'm thinking of starting a new #stamp collection: #Germany, but I'm looking for a few good books that cover the topic and are suitable for a relative beginner.
Any tips? #philately@philately#PostalStamps
#DungeonsAndDragons commemorative stamps (10 designs) are set for release by #USPS in 2024. Also planned: a gorgeous collection of #AnselAdams B&W photos (16 designs).
An interesting stamp issue from Thailand 🇹🇭 this week: 140th anniversary of the first public stamp issue in 1883 (the Solot Issue). A classic for "stamp-on-stamp" collectors. Thailand have done variations of this twice before. This is the nicest of the issues. Issued 20-09-2023 #philately#Thailand
I could have sworn that I saw a stamp with an error a few days ago, but can't for the life of me remember what country it was from
Two skiers racing from right to left, maybe the Winter Olympics, but the one behind only seems to have one ski.
Wish I could find it to check if I am correct. Please don't ask me why I didn't put it aside at once, because the answer is that I'm simply stupid. 😉
It's in a glassine envelope in a box. @philately#philately#PostageStamps#Stamps
