I am not sure which recent French stamp you are referring to. When was it issued? Do you mean the sheetlet of 13 Marianne/stars stamps (+ 1 label)? |

Ahhh, OK, now I know what you all are talking about: Asterix and Obelix.
Did France issue a newer one since 1999? |

Being a odd ball collector I probably will try and find a sheet. But after looking at the one odd shaped stamp what really would be the practicality of putting it on a envelope. I mean look at the size of that one.
Great sheet Spock. |

I like the details: some of these stamps are for both Gaule and France, and the long one is 0,56 euro but also LVI sesterces. Very much in style :) |

Geeze, I guess I'd better get out more. Are these Homer Simpson's long lost relatives? |

Are they ever cute.
Now I am going to have to get two sets. One for my France collection and one for my daughter who collects different cartoon type stamps. |

I was having so much fun enjoying the characters that I just now (after my third time viewing) noticed that the mini-sheet is a Red Cross one also. . . Euro 1.56 goes to the Red Cross France. Neat.  |

After some searching finally found my set for the oddball collection.
The Obelix stamp is one of the largest they have ever issued and the heaviest. It is coated in a ground stone dust. |

Actually in the middle of a trade with another collector from France and he says there were already shortages. Probably will be fixed soon. He gave me a little info on the mini sheet.
Oh yes, and the Asterix sheet is set up as Tete-Beche pairs. |
