Exploring Stamps
Exploring Stamps is a popular YouTube channel about philately. It was founded by Graham Beck in 2016, and has since had ~3.5 million views. BLP will issue a three stamps about Exploring Stamps commemorating World Post Day on 2 October.
One stamp features a surface covered with mail. It is captioned ‘Viewer Mail Day’. This stamp is demonstrating the large amount of fan mail Graham Beck receives.
The next shows a stamp held up to a scene of a donkey and the iconic Aruban Red Anchor. The artwork is based on a scene from the episode Aruba Stamps - S3E11. This stamp is portraying ‘extreme philately’, one of the main aspects of Exploring Stamps.
Finally, the third stamp features a cardboard box on a parachute. This scene is from a trailer episode for season three (view here), where Beck launches his stamp box on a parachute.
