🇮🇲 Isle Of Man Post Office -
27 February 2025 - ‘Archibald Knox Order and Beauty’. This issue was featured in Blog 2657 where I mentioned that I could not find any reason for such an issue to be released at this particular time but publicity put out by the IOM PO on 21 February 2025 relates this issue to a major exhibition at the Manx Museum to open on the 5 April, and to run for a year, of many of Knox’s notable art works. This seems a good enough reason to me though sadly it now appears that there are to be more philatelic items to be released as part of this issue.
The basic set of 10 stamps featured in Blog 2657 which will be issued as a gummed sheetlet of 10 and will cost £12.34. There will also be 2 booklets each of 10 self-adhesive stamps costing respectively £9 (10 x 90p) and £10 (10 x £1) and a ‘Prestige booklet’ which will cost £24.68 including a pane of the 10 stamps from the booklet which will be sold separately for £12.34, making a grand total for those who really must have ‘one of everything’ of £68.36.
All this additional trumpery moonshine ensures this issue remains rated:- *.
As if all the above were not bad enough -
14 January 2025 - 60th anniversary of the Isle of Man Arts Council - 10 stamps from sheets (previously featured in Blog 2637). In addition to the basic set of 10 stamps (cost £ ) there is also a coil of 10 self-adhesive stamps of varying values reproducing the designs of the basic set and sold by Isle Of Man Stamps and Coins for £11.15.
