The rarest 2020 stamps in future will probably be the Sherlock Holmes ones; despite the stylish miniature sheet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-36232912431524284722020-08-29T14:36:07.396+01:002020-08-29T14:36:07.396+01:00This issue is covered in detail in the latest BPB,...This issue is covered in detail in the latest BPB, which arrived through my letterbox this morning.
