Halloween Again

In the summer of 2020 Colin had returned to the Halloween and Death of Stamps stamps of 11 years previous. This time though they had a more proper release in the form of sheets, and extras were available in mystery mixed lots too. The new printings had sheet and non-sheet variants, were slightly smaller in size, were perforated differently and had a small FfP in the bottom left margin. As well as the Death of Stamps series there were extra stamps - Death Duty and two Dead Letter Office stamps.

What to look for with this issue?

  • The sheet and non-sheet variants
  • The Dark Halloween stamp which is not available in sheets
  • Mirrored skull variants - tricky to spot
  • Print variations
  • Tete--beche pairings
     

And in 2023, yet more to collect. New stamps for Post Mortem and Return To sender, whilst the Dead Letter office and Death Duty stamps of 2019 had a reprint in different shades. All were avaiable in sheets of 12 stamps, and their are variants to look out for too.
