Katerina: stamp shops and dealers sell special mounting strips that come in al ldifferent sizes. They have clear faces so that you can see the stamp, and  sticky backs. You place the stamp inside the strip and stick the back of the strip to your album or whatever it is that you save them in.

Greece came out with its very first series of "stick-it" stamps,

but limited issue it seems :-(

I can't find them at any post office now :-(

The series that the US Post sent out did have a few "new" old ones right way up...and only about 100 of them. So they are selling for $40,000 and more!

Question for stamp collectors:

How do we "save" these self-stick stamps? 

We can no longer soak and mount in old stamp albums...sigh.

They produced a few deliberate 'errors' with the plane the right way up which are now the valuable ones

Maybe they ignored the gibberish and just read the postcode, but a 'cheeky' card from Val Herman just arrived successfully here in 'Ouivenneaux', addressed in pure Franglais.

Mercy buckets, Val.
