Stamps That Move Your Emotions.

Hi guys...Here are 2 stamps that make me feel my emotions come out...

THIS IS THE FIRST STAMP I COLLECTED WHEN I WAS A KID.
AMERICAN SCOTT # 1193 FROM 1962...MAKES ME SMILE.





SECOND STAMP IS FROM CANADA..SCOTT # 558...PIERRE LAPORTE.
MURDERED IN THE 70'S BY THE FLQ IN QUEBEC.
HIS CONFIDENT FACE AND KIND EYES MOVE ME.

Interesting Wert

I remember the FLQ crisis all too well. It is strange that they murdered the man with a French sounding name and saved James Cross.

They are outlawed in Canada, and so they should be.

Wert - I commemd your memory. I certainly do not remember my first stamp - from when I was 8 or so - but I do remember my first record album. It was an LP of classic greats including Beethoven's Vth that came as a freebee at the grocery store. I played it to death.

This recently-issued stamp from Canada should certainly fit this thread:

wt1...you are so right...That is a famous picture and they even made a statue from it called "wait-for-me-daddy"

wt1...you had to post that stamp, didnt you..haha...Just got back from post office..

Hi CanadaStamp,

Just for you. This is probably one of the most uplifting performances of Beethoven's Choral (Symphony) I have ever heard. Pretty good for an old deaf guy, don'tya think?



Super video, click on the youtube logo under the image to play it on full screen and wind the sound way up.

Great post! The expressions of the audience clearly showed the power that music can have on people.

Just so. And to give a performance of this sitting down in a concert hall is one thing. On the hoof like this is quite another. Total knockout.

This beautifully colorful sunflower stamp because the sunflower was my Grandfather's favorite flower. It reminds me of him and I looked up to him my whole life! I really miss him.




And Winston Churchill for obvious reasons! His role in WWI (Gallipoli Campaign)and then after defeat his enlisting straight into the front line- talk about bravery!; And of course his involvement in WWII. He and F.D.R. both but I wanted to keep this post short and sweet!

I_Love_Stamps...2 great choices..Thats what I mean about the sunflower stamp...brings out emotions/memories...Of course Winston Churchill, that is a classic with all the stamps they put out in every country..

This is my favourite stamp of FDR even though I dont have it...

I photoshopped the parts out that might offend.

Ahhhhhh...stallzer...I think you missed one...The lady closest to you....haha

Wow, that's such a great coincidence that you created this post with a space stamp! I too, started collecting as a kid, and I just recently started again because I saw this stamp - #1759, 1978 .15 cent Viking missions to Mars.

I recently saw this stamp on a cover at a coin show and I immediately got such a vivid rush of memories collecting this as a kid, and putting it into my old Harris Independence Album with a hinge! Of course I bought the cover right away - that was over 6 months ago and now I'm collecting more and more daily! Feels great to be back into the hobby I lost touch with!

I would have to agree with Jogil about this one,

I also like the Isarel stamps that show their dedication to the Old Testament.
