Bond Stamps to Add Some Zest to Royal Mail Offerings

By , About.com Guide   January 23, 2012

Follow me on:

Some philatelists are getting their tongs all twisted over the coming James Bond stamps from the the U.K.'s Royal Mail.

But if you're a Bond fan you might want to get involved in the excitement of commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the exciting films by going here and voting for your favorite Bond posters. A stamp-size design of the ten most popular as chosen by the public will be attached to British stamps in a souvenir sheet to be issued this year.

When I voted there were four Sean Connery Bond flicks in the top ten, though number one was Casino Royale with Daniel Craig. Roger Moore had a few scattered in the top choices, but to me he will always be The Saint. Pierce Brosnan was somewhere, but he's Remington Steele, not James Bond. For me there is only one true cinematic Bond and that is Connery. Different strokes for different folks?
