Sorry for the confusion, people. There was a misunderstanding between Royal Mail (who donated these promotional enlargements) and the seller, but all is now sorted out, and the items are back on sale and have bids already - oh and if you are on twitter or facebook please send a link to this blogpost or to the items on eBay!
===============================================================
You may know that Prostate Cancer UK was supported by Royal Mail during 2012, particularly making an appearance on slogan postmarks in Movember.
Now there's a chance to obtain some unique Olympic stamp memorabilia currently on eBay, and for the next 10 days -- the auction is now closed and the sale realised just over £240 for charity a sum which was matched by Royal Mail. Thanks for looking.
The items for sale are blow-ups of the stamps, produced by Royal Mail for promotional purposes - they are high quality photographic images on PVC Foamex backing card. This is a rare chance to get something most unusual to add to your Olympics collection!
Shown above, the Jason Kenny sprint gold medal stamp. Others available:
Anthony Joshua, Ben Ainslie, Alastair Brownlee, Dave Weir, and two stamps from the 'Welcome' miniature sheets, the 1st class Tower Bridge Fencing, and Athletics/Olympic Stadium.
Money raised will go towards the seller's London Marathon fundraising run for Prostate Cancer UK, and all sums will be matched by Royal Mail - see Calvin's facebook page here.

I'm confused. I clicked on your link, but an Ebay error message came up saying that no results matched. Are they all sold out already?!
ReplyDeleteNo, while I was out there seems to have been a problem with what Royal Mail thought would happen to these - see new start to blog post.
DeleteNo more to say at the moment, but we're looking at it.
The items are back on sale - same link. Bid high people!
DeleteMany Thanks For All Your Help And Support Ian
