50th Anniversary Stamps

For only the second time, the Royal Mail is celebrating Doctor Who in stamp form. 26th March 2013 see a quite superb range of 50th Anniversary stamps released. There is a first class stamp for each of the 11 TV Doctors, plus a miniature set of monster themed stamps. If you hunt on the Royal Mail web site you will also find a simple first class stamp featuring the TARDIS.

The Royal Mail is issuing a range of covers, with either a full set or a selection of stamps, as well as some other merchandising items, including a rather good TARDIS stamp pin badge. You can view all the items Royal Mail has in the range by visiting http://www.royalmail.com/doctorwho

However, for a truly spectacular range of philatelic collectables, you should really check out what The Stamp Centre has to offer. You will see at their website a wide selection of covers and stamp complications, both signed and unsigned. We recommend the Colin Baker cover. Obviously! Other Doctors are available.

All covers from The Stamp Centre are by Ian Burgess who has produced many superb items for them over the years - these are no exception.

If you are in London on 26th May you can pop to The Stamp Centre on The Strand (a few minutes from Embankment tube and Charing Cross station) where Tom Baker himself,will be signing.
