Hi all, I'm always looking out for fun stamps to collect. Now this is not about condition, or MNH, etc.

Here is one such example an R1Ba with a nice example of old George sinking down.

Do other members have other example(s) they think are funny to collect? Lets see them.

This is an example of the rare, unlisted "Washington on quicksand" variety.

Hi James Drummond, I think old George fell into a hole. He was out drink with old Ben F. at the time.

I like to collect errors in stamp design.... things that are not accurate or correct. Here is an example: The stamp shows Christopher Columbus in the 15th Century using a telescope, although it was not invented until 1608 in the Netherlands by Hans Lippershey
