Hi Folks,

Haven't read through all the preceding posts so I hope I'm not repeating the images. The packaging for the stamps is rather interesting. Looks like a round coaster for a glass but opens up to reveal the stamps. Eight stamps per package with two of each artist. The Lightfoot package has the stamp image on the front and a description of the artists on the reverse.

A wonderful interview with Gord on his being honoured with the release of the stamps.

Humble as usual, Gord deflects attention by naming other Canadian artists such as Neil Young, Leonard Cohen, Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings as equally deserving. I had to chuckle with Gord stating that with this stamp he could travel the world without leaving home




Best to all....

Yuri
