Royal Mail Celebrates Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary


Royal mail has created unique postmarks for each of the home towns of all the actors to have played the Eleven Doctors. This Means that all stamped mail sent from David Tennant's home town will have a special postmark celebrating 50 years of Doctor Who with the name of the actor on it. 


It's times like these that I wish I lived in Europe. It's ok though I suppose. Being the whovian that I am I ordered my set of stamps as soon as they became available. 
The set I really wanted was the one below.






The complete collection of 13 First Day Covers each featuring the Royal Mail Doctor Who Stamps, but sad to say there were two things that stopped me from that, one the set was £195 (roughly $295 US) and they sold out very quickly. I'm sure anyone that ended up with a set of these is going to make a killing if they decided to sell them. 

If they don't sell out before I can get them I would like to get a sheet of these. 


The Monster's Mini Sheet.
it features the Ood, Cybermen, Weeping Angels and of course the Daleks. The sheet also includes the TARDIS at the center.  I suppose if I can't order it from the Royal Mail I will probably be able to find them on Ebay or Amazon sometime when I have the money. 

There are a few different specialty sheets available,like the Doctor Who Presentation Pack and the Doctor Who Prestige Stamp Book, but I like the ones I pictured the best.
