Hello Steve,
my thoughts exactly. And the bundle-based selling model, trying to shift the 2010 issue at the same time, looks like a non-starter to me. Time will tell. Cheers Bernhard

I have to say, despite being a Lord of Sealand myself. that these stamps are outside my collecting range, and the new release looks rather disppointing. Too simple, almost childlike.

Has anybody got their hands on the new stamps from Sealand?
Out 2 September. What does everyone think about the design? Cheers - doktorvonwer

Thank you Daniel.
Cool that he has been knighted for his efforts. I had to buy my title the old-fashioned way. :-) Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
Sure, Blue Origin, a company owned by Jeff Bezos of Amazon, began suborbital test flights in 2015, see wikipedia. In October 2020, NS-13 was launched carrying, amongst other payloads, tens of thousands of postcards from Blue Origin's Club for Future project, see http://www.clubforfuture.org including one from Jacob Ritzke who was knighted by Sealand for his efforts, see Sealand twitter post: https://twitter.com/sealandgov/status/1327281317046857728?lang=en-gb I couldn't link it direct, so you'll have highlight it and click on go to. All the best, Daniel

Hi Daniel,
interesting - do you have a link (or details) to the space story? Bernhard

Thanks Baron Bernhard. I like the coins and the passport as well. I see that Sealand was in the news recently with some of their stamps being sent into space on a Blue Origin rocket.

As requested, a few more pictures:
The subject is the officially called 10th anniversray of independence issue. They usually appear as a miniature sheet of 10, in two rows of 5. Note the postmark: 1976, whereas the 10th anniversary was on 2 September 1967. This is a picture (I believe) from "The Times" of London. Unfortunately, I have not been able to trace this particular sheet of just the 60 c value. As I don't have access to the The Times newspaper archive, I don't have a date for this picture. However, the youngest coin shown came out in 1977. This next one is a rouletted reprint of no. 53 from the "10th anniversary" set of 10. I'd like to know, how and in particular when this was issued. Anyone with pre-2002 uses on cover? Or part sheets? This last sheet of the same issue is quite obscure. I could only trace a small version of the image. Here we have multiple sets of 10 in one sheet, without the wider salvage around the common miniature sheet. Again, I would like to know someone who has it. This concludes my pictures for the moment. Best regards Baron Bernhard - doktorvonwer |

A suitable subject for your Cinderella Club magazine article, Steve?

As a Lord of Sealand, with papers to prove it, I am happy to see these stamps shown here
