Mentioned in the'London Free

The local post office has now
decided• to carry the official or-

government orders for new
items, but when the new issue
is announced, you had hest
hurry down,, to ° get these,,
because they are always in
short supply.
I find that to be a successful
collector, you must know a
number. of people who collect
the•same. thing do.. Meeting
other collectors also widens
