And yet none of The Postman, the only letter carrier who ever protagonized an SF novel/movie.

ST: Generations? That's just crazy.

I've had all of the US ones featured there. I know I have a few space stamps still lying around, but I think those are from a planets set that's not on the page. The rest I used up relatively recently sending out birthday cards.

Aliens stamp is fucking rad. I would totally slap one on my orbit-to-surface nuclear deliveries.

In 24kt gold, no less. No information on whether there's latinum inside.

The Italian for UFO is "Oggetti Volanti Non Identificati". I guess that's not surprising, but it makes me very happy to have learned it.

Guiana paid tribute to the original "Lost in Space" in 1998?!? Of course that WAS the year the movie came out, but still, it had to give Bill "Will Robinson" Mumy nightmares when he came home from filming his role on Babylon 5...

Warning: serious stamp collectors call these kind of issues "wallpaper".
