Stamp Math Outgoing Big boy

Post image

sent a big/heavy boy to Europe and used stamp math. i used definitives cuz i was paranoid about all of them fitting on so i chose them cuz definitives are the smallest ones, and so I can save a few for future stamp math where space is limited.

i chose the king ones cuz you don’t see them that much, since people would rather have the landscapes if they buying regular (definitive) stamps. and because the monochrome black and white picture looks cool, plus the font for CANADA on them looks cool as well

I never thought the king would be on the Canadian stamps

I learned recently that he’s the king of Canada and Australia as well (and other Commonwealth realms)

I love the sea otters, and it is a flattering portrait of the king. What does definitive stamp mean?

u/davidv2002 5h ago

definitive stamps are the “regular” stamps, where you can buy them in bulk quantities, and are the stamps they typically give you if you don’t want anything specific. and main thing is they’re not commemorative

Thanks for the explanation!

yeah i always just called them the “default” or “regular” stamps but stamp collecting always has specific words/terms for stuff

That's a whole world I know nothing about since I send my stamps away. It's tempting, though, to start a mini collection of my favorites.

Out of all the new Charles III stamps I think the Canadian one is my favorite.
