Bringing Stamp Collecting into the 21st Century


Then and Now....Stamp Collecting can still be fun!


How many of us remember when we used to rush to get the mail to see if there was a new and different stamp on any of the envelopes, one that we could add to our collection? Oh, the happiness that we felt whenever a new stamp came our way unexpectedly!

Well, now it’s 2018 and sadly, snail mail is fading rapidly. The days of non-self-adhesive stamps are falling behind us, and the future is more electronic and less paper oriented.

So, what’s a stamp collector to do?

I can tell you, the hunt is on! In this day and age of instant gratification, there is still excitement to be found searching for that elusive stamp that you can never seem to find. With avenues open to collectors, like Herrick Stamp, Ebay, and Amazon, it can be just as exciting now to finally find that one stamp, as it was when we were younger and waiting for the postman to arrive.

Herrick Stamp Company handles ALL the new issues from all over the world, and it’s fun to see the new stamp designs from other countries, and wonder how future stamp collectors will feel about this great hobby.

So, hop onto our website at http://www.herrickstamp.com and find those stamps you’ve been searching for!

WINTER IS COMING!!



WINTER IS COMING!!

Well, Royal Mail of Great Britain has done it again! In the same vein as the Star Wars stamps released in the past two years, Royal Mail has issued a set of Game of Thrones commemorative stamps. The illustrations on the stamps are truly beautiful and capture the richness of the show (Can you tell I’m a fan?).

Each stamps pictures a different character from the show, and in the background are images associated with that character. Of course, you can purchase the stamps and all the other postal products at our website. The link for all the Game of Thrones products is HERE.

And while we all eagerly await the return of the show for it’s final season, we can collect these beautiful stamps and wonder what on earth is going to happen with Daenarys and Jon Snow!

Enjoy!
