A mailing from Canada Post implies this is the end of the 2023 stamp programme. No mention was made of the previously-listed “A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.”
Please tell me that is not really a beta proof of the King Chuck III stamp? Oh my that looks bad.
It’s not really a beta proof. It’s my creation, and I didn’t put too much effort into it. Maybe it’ll goad Canada Post into showing us the real thing. (HA!)
Hello,
Canada Post’s idea of keeping the stamps a secret until the day of issue (in most cases) is absolutely retarded. It makes zero sense. Collectors will buy them anyway and the rest don’t care. Who took this “brilliant” decision beats me.
Totally agree!!!
Not that I was servicing many copies for many issues, but this policy has caused me to really cut back on the Canadian issues for which I produce my Dragon Cards FDCs. I can’t design the cards until I am certain of the subject, the format/size and colors.
Add to that the long time for FDC servicing. For the last Hanukkah stamp, I took a chance and sent my Cards to the FDC Processing Center in Antigonish several weeks before the stamp was issued. I got them back in January. There isn’t much interest in Christmas or Chanukkah in January and sales suffered.
