Watch stamp ceremony highlights

This month we're adding a new feature to the digital mix at Linn's Stamp News — a YouTube channel with video of recent stamp events. We’ve uploaded highlights from two first-day ceremonies held in May. To watch the video, just visit online at www.youtube.com/linnsstampnews.

This edition of Linn's newsletter also includes ceremony reports for the Lydia Mendoza and Battle of Gettysburg stamps, and an update on new U.S. stamps that will be issued in June.

A special feature this month looks at stamps of the Universal Postal Union, and you’ll also find a preview of Vol. 3 of the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue.

Happy collecting!
