And as the picture at that page shows, these are not a standard-shaped stamp (Rectangular with perforations) but shaped to look like a pile of album sleeves, with their corners at angles.
Fortunately the come pre-gummed to "peel'n'stick", so there is no need for them to be capable of forming a 'sheet' of attached stamps.
I've made a point of using them for the last week or so

Don't know if they're available in the States, but Royal Mail have their own web-site with a Mail Order section Here

I'll buy them if I can find them and put them away and never use them. You know those will be collector's items someday--already are.

Would have loved to have seen one with the original artwork for the U.S.compilation "Yesterday & Today" or, failing that,"Two Virgins".Ah well,maybe next time eh?

Wow! Now the USA should do Bob Dylan stamps. And Joan Baez too (although she's not as well known at this point)

You have to be dead for 10 years to be on a U.S. stamp. Don't wish for those stamps any time soon!

Oh, I didn't know that.

This means I have to wait at least until 2017 to get stamps with George W. Bush's face on them. Dang! I may not even live that long myself.

Little Hawk

History may set the odds slightly against but a rather large number of encumbant presidents have been the victims of attacks, fatal or not.

Do you know something for 2007?

I was not implying that I think he's going to die in 2007. I was just making a joke. Don't inform Homeland Security! ;-)
