Picture Postage: New "Official" Stamps, Same As Envelopes.

The 250th anniversary of Torbay, Newfoundland and the 150th anniversary of Victoria, BC use the Picture Postage design printed directly on the envelopes, as similar issues in the past.





These are shown on page 25 of the latest details, Vol XXI No.3.

As everyone, including Canada Post, will be using Picture Postage stamps as part of their advertising budgets, I'm not buying them. These are a separate field of collecting that the major catalogues will ignore.

Couldn't have said it better BlackJag

Ah, ye of little faith!

Saw that Bee See. I am still salivating over and planning how to get those Air Canada Picture Postage stamps. Stamp $$$$ and me are far apart at this time.

I am not so sure about that... Canada Post authorized these and Picture Postage (or similar) seems to be the wave of the future world-wide.

I would rather these two stamps than many of the commemoratives Canada Post now produces, such as the abundance of QEII jubilee stamps and the CFL stamps.

I long ago stopped buying all new issues and get only what appeals to me.

Puzzler, I will get an Air Canada set for you, we can make a trade.

OK, I like used if you are saving mnh cut arounds.

In the details magazine the new stamps look like they have shadows so I had thought they were real. But, then again, I had thought the first commemorative envelopes were real stamps also.

Used no problem, I like them too. My local Shoppers Drug Mart makes sure I get nice cancels which I can apply myself

BTW one of my brother-in-laws works for Air Canada, I will check for freebies, LOL.

I'd like to collect them anyway. They look good
