Great to see Colin getting a permanent shop presence on Etsy. I finally got around to checking it out last week and ordered a set of the new Halloween sheets. I could, of course, have rationed myself since they will be there more permanently than he was able to do cost-effectively on Ebay but I couldn't, equally of course, resist the full set. And very nice they are too.
I noticed that there were plenty of the "Death of Stamps" version in the three mixed bags I got but there was no sheet of it available to purchase. I asked Colin and he said he wasn't happy with the clarity of the text so felt it had more mileage as a free extra in the mixed bags. Such a perfectionist! They looked pretty good to me. I've only purchased a couple of times before on Etsy (once for artisan dog biscuits hand-made in the now infamous market town of Barnard Castle!) but I've heard that it's a better platfrom for "creators" than Ebay and I've certainly had good experiences with it so far.

Should I mention that some of the stamps have one variant
but others have f i v e (I think) (but you have to buy the mixed bags to find these)

If Two Halloween sheets Two Dead Letter Office sheets A Death Duty sheet and Three Multinational Sheets aren't enough to tempt you to take a look at Colin's latest stamps.... I would strongly recommend purchasing the "Mixed Bags" of stamps sooner rather than later. They were listed as "Low stock" but seem to be "In stock" at the moment. and they contain Stamps and Varients not available on the sheets (as well as some of his "Hand of Fate" stamps from 2019) p.s For the completists amongst you who think you have these stamps already (from previous years) It may not be immediately apparent but these stamps are smaller than Colin's previous issues FarfetchedPhilately on Etsy.com P.P.S I haven't posted any direct links in this message but Viglink has. I'm not sure where they will take you !! |

Hope Colin doesn't mind me doing some advertising on his behalf
But I don't know how many of this forum look at etsy.com for their stamps instead of Ebay... It was purely by chance that I came across FarFetchedPhilately which has recently reopened and offers All Hallows, Dead Letter and Valentine (Cherub Post) stamps for sale (in case anyone missed out on the stamps last February and the previous October)

Some Death of Stamps are not as dead as others
