EURO-2008 Date of Issue : 30 June 2008
Hi Readers I am going to reveal a very special news that Austria Post has become the fastest stamp producing Postal Administration in the world and its name would soon appear in Guinness Book of World Records for producing the fastest stamp ever! Please refer to 29 June Post in which I wrote that Austria planned to issue the postage stamp just after the final match of EURO-2008. Now they have done it . On 30 June 2008 at 41 minutes after midnight (time in Austria), the first stamp sheet featuring the new European football champion was sold at Philately Shop on Käntner Straße.The stamps were ready for sale at the shop after just two hours and 5 minutes! Everbody was delighted, not just Spanish football fans! Here is the sheet for you to view !! In the second part of the Post some lovely stamps for kids . One is on 'Harry Potter" Children's Favourite and the others issued by Iireland on Letter Writing which is this year's theme for Europa. Just show them to children. They will be really happy. Till next Post, Have a very Nice Day !
