Elvis lives! (On Burkina Faso postage stamps) Mongolia and the X-Men. Chechnya and Groucho Marx. What were these stamp-pandering countries thinking?
  • This is nothing new...

    ...it's been going on for at least four and a half decades. Do an Ebay search for "Telstar Stamp" and you'll find impoverished countries like Somalia that put a communications satellite on their postage so they could sell it to technology-worshipping Americans back in 1962.

    Nice to see somebody at the U of M noticed it eventually, though.
