A consequence of issuing entertainment media-related stamps around the world is that one seems very much like another. But I wonder if any British stamps have been successfully used in other countries because of this?
In fact many of the thematic stamps issued by Royal Mail - wildlife, comic-book heroes, film and tv franchises - are mirrored in other countries.
I've added the latest example of confusion - a non-UK Star Trek stamp used here - to the Postal History blog along with other examples.
To demonstrate here are three very similar stamps.
IS it any surprise that one might be used in a different country?
UPDATE 7 November - also added to the Postal History blog, news about a surcharge label I haven't seen before.
