I was contacted this week by a Discworld Collector who had bought a bag of stamps in a charity shop, as there were Discworld stamps in it. She asked me if I new any thing about the 1D Pyrattica Compass stamp in the bag...

Hi Pete! So with your Pyrattica stamps you have achieved everything Terry wanted from a Discworld stamp when he originally wrote the book - that it should be able to be dropped into a bag of 'real' stamps and blend in seamlessly. Congratulations! I wonder which collector has been sending their cinderellas stamps in to unsuspecting charity shops? What a great idea  |

That was certainly an amazing coincidence that she should ask you but as Colin suggests how wonderful to achieve mainstream circulation (or re-circulation). Recently Rushstamps were selling one of Colin's Maravedas stamps but described it as 'unidentified'.
I do check local charity shops on a regular basis for stamp products and they do turn up from time to time. I've managed to buy stamp books, a stockbook (new) and several yearbooks for Sweden and China at very good prices. But, beware, I also purchased a yearbook of UK stamps at a great price and it wasn't until I got home that I realised that there weren't any stamps inside, what appeared to be the stamps were just photographs  Fortunately, as a regular customer, I readily got a refund. Most recently I purchased a souvenir book, including several sheets of stamps, for an exhibition at the British Museum for Chinese (Signature) Seals which also included an actual wooden seal. |

No sports, I think they are from freebies I sent with ebay sales.
And just for information, I hope after Wadfest to Kickstart (;)) Pyrattica. A link will be posted in the appropriate place at the time.
