Brexit

Last Tuesday I got two stamps from Austria in a cover.

This is one of them:


Brexit (issued 31-01-2020)
The stamp was actually already prepared for last year, but was postponed until the actual Brexit. The originally planned date, 29th March 2019, was thus crossed out and replaced by the new date. The United Kingdom is printed with varnish and disappears if you hold the stamp at the right angle to the light.

Thank You very much Anita!

Sesame Street in Germany

On Tuesday I bought the new German stamps.

This is one block of four I bought:


Sesame Street (issued 02-03-2020)

As I really like this stamp, I decided to buy all the special products available it. The first thing was the usual First Day Sheet.



The second one is a prepaid cover for the philatelic exhibition in Munich, of which just one of three planned days took place due to the coronavirus.


Next thing is something I have not bought in years, an "Erinnerungsblatt".



During My Trip to Hamburg last Monday I also bought the "Übergabekarte", as I visited the special post office it was intended for.



Last and least is finally the "Klappkarte", which I ordered in the online shop of the Deutsche Post together with the matching postcards, as I was told that it will not be available in the philatelic shop in my home town. These cards I usually do not like to buy, as I think they are pure profiteering.

This is it:


70th Sanremo Music Festival (issued 07-02-2020)

It was sent in a FDC of this stamp.


A while ago I already got this stamp with the special postmark on a piece of paper.


Thank You very much Davide and William!
