Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 Queen – not that one – to appear on postage stamps By Ben Beaumont-Thomas The stamp design featuring the cover from Queen II. Photograph: Royal Mail No, not that one – the rock band Queen are to feature on a series of UK postage stamps over the summer. They become only the third band to be honoured by Royal Mail, following the Beatles in 2007 and Pink Floyd in 2016. Guitarist Brian May said: “Sometimes it’s strange to wake up and realise the position in which we are now held – we have become a national institution! And nothing brings this home more than this incredible tribute from Royal Mail.” Drummer Roger Taylor said: “We must be really part of the furniture now.” The 13 stamp designs, going on sale from 9 July, feature a posed studio shot of the group, plus four live images of each of May, Taylor, frontman Freddie Mercury and bassist John Deacon, and album covers of Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack, A Night at the Opera, News of the World, The Game, Greatest Hits, The Works, and Innuendo.

JWRC Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Great, wish I could get a set for my grandson. Wouldn't Freddie have loved this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could buy on line and have them sent direct to your kids...as far as value...stamp collections have been rendered almost worthless. I have every stamp, FD cover and many presentation packs from 1975-1984...value?...whatever someone would offer. I couldn't give them away a few years ago, of course if a new found interest by investment companies arise that could change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Oh dear ! A postage stamp is equivalent to currency of the realm as denoted. The plummeting Pound ? Nevertheless all genuine credit to Queen for their collective demonstration of true talent ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWRC Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Yes, just ordered online, easy as. I'm not interested in what they are worth in the future, for me it's having something that honours this great band in a unique way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
