Comment by Debra Mulnick on December 17, 2020 at 7:15pm: I forgot that you mail to yourself from abroad (or have others mail for you)......I should have recognized this.

Thanks for responding.

Comment by michael thompson on December 6, 2020 at 10:57pm: Sadly Debra these are faux stamps that I made and had mailed from Hong Kong and do not represent a modification of Government positions. The umbrellas seem quaint when arrayed against the formidable offensive might of the CCP. What is happening there is a crime. And the stamps have become a collectors' item already, yes!

Comment by Debra Mulnick on December 6, 2020 at 4:08pm: Wow. That's amazing that HK issued yellow umbrella postage stamps at all! I am surprised to see these.

Must be a collectors' item already. Thanks for posting this Michael. I was in Central HK a few years ago while that was happening. It was scary to see the Chinese military presence out in full force.
