These are stunning. Thanks for blogging about them.
would love this set of covers…but alas after 15 minutes attempting to find them on the AnPost site…no luck…their site is NOT collector friendly.
Maybe they are sold out? I tried to help you, but even when I found the link of them it brought me back to the page with all the stamps and they aren’t listed. Should have the image and say sold out if that’s the case. Just wanted to let you know you aren’t alone, I had trouble, too!
If you really want them, they are being sold on Ebay. lol
Bought from ebay. Nice!
