These really warranted a separate mention as they will be new stamps. <br /><br />That will teach me to read every single word in their Bulletins more carefully in future.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-62303896340246624312009-06-07T23:14:57.149-12:002009-06-07T23:14:57.149-12:00Hi Ian,

And until yesterday had no idea that the Mary Quant booklets were in the pipe line for 2009.<br /><br />A friend passed this information to me, I have no idea where he obtained it, and I have not confirmed it as yet. <br /><br />One never knows what to expect with R.M these days.Machin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09518381259926478157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322543472485475876.post-7782396148570697942009-06-07T06:28:24.973-12:002009-06-07T06:28:24.973-12:00When were the new Design Classics booklets announc...When were the new Design Classics booklets announced? - and where? No mention in the Philatelic Bulletin received last week, and no info has been sent to the trade. <br /><br />Last I heard the 3rd - Spitfire and Concorde booklet was postponed until January. That, of course, was before they announced the DC2 set in January. Obviously issuing booklets with the 2009 stamps when you've just issued 10 new stamps would be confusing.<br /><br />And on the subject of confusion, Graham Howard reports on <a href="http://www.smilers-info.com/news.htm" rel="nofollow">Smilers Info</a> News that the Thaipex Exhibition Smilers sheet will be a sheet of 10. The Bulletin doesn't mention the size but does say it is £8.35 - the price of a sheet of 20.<br /><br />Some email inboxes will be buzzing tomorrow morning! <br /><br />[HeHe! the verification word for this post is <b>uproor</b><i>sic</i> - how appropriate!Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.com
