Canadian eclipse stamps

#1

Post by Thefatkitty »

Hey all,

Well, here I sit in the hospital waiting room waiting for two things: The clouds to clear and my wife to have her surgery done. My Ca-K scope, mount and camera are in the trunk of my car, and my laptop is here with me now. It really doesn't look promising for me :(

I was reading the latest newletter from the RASC and they had a section on the new eclipse stamps from Canada Post. First time the P.O. here has done this; might be the last time 'till 2144....

They come in a booklet of 10, and cost $9.20CDN. I'm going to get one for sure; here's the link:

https://store.canadapost-postescanada.c ... ent-stamps

If you can't see/get to the site let ne know and I'll put up some pictures. Also, if you can't buy a set due to shipping/country concerns and would really like one, let me know and I'll fix you up ;) I'm not looking to make a profit either. I'll put off buying mine until I know; I'll give you all 'till Thursday.

Good luck to everyone in the path!!
