Portland International Mail Truck Expo commemorative stamp set ($40 CAD)
If Portland, Oregon, hosted an exposition of international postal trucks in 1987, Canada Post would be there with brand new branding, Nigeria’s Nipost would be the debutante, and the eastern bloc countries would show how to apply central planning to parcel delivery. No such event happened, of course, but you can still commemorate it via the below set of limited edition stamps showing a dozen well-researched would-be participants of that fantastic non-event. Each stamp sheet measures 8” square, is part of a limited edition of 100 copies, and is signed, editioned, and dated on the backside. Oh, and this exists because of the philatelic geniuses known as the Portland Stamp Company, who are incredible.
