American and Finnish Idols on postage stamps
Personally I like the so called personalized postage stamps, but I hate to see them getting “overcommercial” aspects. Below are two sets of stamps both illustrating Idols winners. The first stamp set is from Finland, the latter from US.
Tough some of the money of Idols stamps goes to charity, IMO they represent a very scary picture of modern stamp publishing. These are IMHO nothing more than overpriced products for collectors and fans alike.
