I just checked Canada Post website, entered "Superman" into search and came up with whooping 62 results to shop. So there's the coil stamp, the booklets stamps (5 different covers), m/s, press sheet,...



Talk about milking the collectors. Where in the world is Superman when we need him, LOL.

Link to Post Back to Top Post by BC on Perhaps a third party will be granted rest-of-world rights for selling the Canadian Superman stamps, maybe even at inflated prices. If that is the case, I am sure there will be many TSF Canadians willing to get them for TSF members for face plus postage, including myself.

The main office I walked in and they had none a chap walked in and bought them all every thing they had except the coils



So off to the shoppers mail counter and they did not get any in yet. I made another trip today to see if they had them in and No was the answer . I have a feeling the same guy who cleaned out the main office went there as well.



So back to the main office and asked if they getting anymore in. I had a chat with the manager a really nice guy, he is known to look over for errors for collectors . After a chat I put in my order so I will have them on Wednesday, he also asked if I would like a poster as well the one on the wall was spoken for but he will get me a couple.



Seems these are like hot cakes, I had a look at eBay and plenty on sale.

The Superman coil singles included in the 2013/03 Quarterly Pack have different backing than the actual rolls of fifty stamps. The are rouletted all 4 sides instead of imperforate, and have no text on the back.



The strip from the booklet is die cut through the gutter margin in the quarterly pack, while imperforate in the actual booklet. It is also unfolded and die cut through on four sides of the strip.



I will post images later, unless someone beats me to it.

Link to Post Back to Top Post by therealwesty on BC, I had never taken not of the missing printing of the coil single from the quarterly pack. Thanks for the tip! I will have to cut a single off my roll for my collection to show the variety.



The strip of booklet stamps is a nice piece to have, but it doesn't fit into the rows of my vario pages (horizontally). I am not going to break it apart, so now I am on the look out for some decent used copies of the booklet stamps to fill the spaces in my singles book.

Link to Post Back to Top Post by stampgeezer on I received a lovely package in the mail today with the Superman sheet as postage. They came from a secret location in Ontario, inhabited by a mild mannered philatelist, who in real life is --- ah but you know who you are. Thanks! Do Canadian self-adhesive issues soak off paper at all? Or are they like US self-adhesives resulting in frustration and bad language?
