Crime Novels and Stamps

When you both like crime novels and stamp it is nice when it is combined. In 2016 Royal Mail issued 6 stamps to honor  Agatha Christie. They were issued to mark the centenary for the  first Hercule Poirot story, as well as the 40th anniversary of Christie's death.

It is somewhat peculiar that while the amount of snail-mail is declining the amount of issued stamps is increasing. Some countries issue several hundred a year. Among these are Great Britain, but they are also eminent stamp makers. This series  has a lot of fine hidden clues: faces, shadows, skulls and then  some in microtext, or in thermochromic ink, or only visible under an ultra-violet light
The pictures on this page is copied from  Colnect. It is my favorite catalog  on the internet .On this  site you can find catalogs on lots of different collectibles, and they are growing continually, as everyone can contribute to make them better and up to date.
It is also a very good place to get in contact with other collectors and negotiate swaps.
Recently Colnect has been expanded with a marketplace, where you can sell or buy collectibles.
