This is a mailing I received from a dealer in Taiwan, who produces a whole raft of fantasy stamps, forgery reproductions and other weird stuff. This is a 'mixed franking', in that there are genuine postage stamps in addition to fantasy stamps from his Imperial Coldland Government. The fantasy stamps are in the top row. The reverse is, well, eye catching. It certainly woke me up when I received it: |

And a nuvva:
I've mentioned elsewhere, that maybe there is something to be learnt from this self publishing dealer as far as attracting a younger audience to the hobby is concerned. Sending out plain dull envelopes with out of period commemorative stamps, or machine labels may not be the best advertisement for philately. |
