New issues -

🇸🇸 Postal service of South Sudan -

9 July 2024 - 13th anniversary of Independence - 6 stamps and 1 miniature sheet containing all 6 stamps. It is reported by Leo An of the South Sudan Stamp Collectors Facebook Page that these stamps were initially intended to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Independence but with conditions prevailing in the country preventing that, the stamps have now been altered to commemorate the 13th anniversary instead. Rating:- ***.

🇧🇳 Brunei Darussalam postal service -

23 February 2024 (revised date of issue, See Blog  ). 40th anniversary of National Day - 5 stamps and 1 miniature sheet containing all 5 stamps (better illustrations of 4 of the 5 stamps and now also a poor quality illustration of the miniature sheet.

🇺🇸 Intergovernmental Philatelic Corporation (notorious USA-based producer and purveyor of philatelic products under contract from some Commonwealth and other postal services/governments). 

2024 - Usually at this stage of the year we might expect to have seen numerous products manufactured and marketed by this business but, up to now, this has not been the case. Of course the situation could change in an instant and IGPC may well flood the market with whole loads of its products with the names of several countries printed on them and with very high face values which, one assumes, is its way of dealing with dramatically falling sales figures.

So far we have seen only -
