Does ANYONE buy this tat?
ReplyDelete(To answer my own question, I suppose some people must - or IGPC would do us all a favour, and just stop - but the phrase "more money than sense" can rarely be more fitting than to describe any completist who amasses a vast and costly collection of such 'stamps'.)
WK replying - Presumably someone does buy this rubbish or else IGPC would be losing money and would not continue to release the stuff. IGPC, Stamperija & similar entities rely, I guess, on a form of addiction, which ensures that there are collectors who can not resist items which they feel they simply must have in their collection. That aside, I imagine the ghastly Trump products may well interest Trump worshippers who will see them as souvenirs of what, for them, is a crowning moment of achievement for their hero. As long as there is a market for these products these ‘agencies’ will continue to sell them.
