Isle of Man London 90 Prestige Booklet A prestige booklet was issued by the Isle of Man (IOM) on May
3, 1990 for Stamp World 90 entitled "Isle of Man Penny Post"; two panes were special blocks of eighth of the regular
issue and the third was a reissue of the regular block s/s. The three
panes were stapled into the booklet thru a rouletted
margin that could be removed. Scott, as usual, did not number the booklet,
but the contents were. First day
covers were produced for the three panes. See scans
for booklet cover, Sc #d panes and fdcs. The fdcs all have the
added margina with staple holes and rouletting, but
do not show clearly on the scans. A very
nice addition to a good looking issue.

FDC of the IOM Sc #424a block of four was produced with an added IOM 150th Anniversary of the
Penny Black coin that was issued just for the occasion. The cover has another cutout on the back showing the side of the coin with a Queen Elizabeth II image. With the internal support and coin, the cover is quite heavy, but it is a novel addition to a SoS collection.

Stamps on stamps The topic
of stamps on stamps is one of the most diverse of all topicals.
Ever since Sir Rowland Hill first advocated the use of prepaid pieces of
paper to be adhered to letters to expedite their delivery, the postage stamp has
fascinated people. It should come as no surprise, then, that the postage
stamp is being used as a stamp motif, and that topical collecting of stamps
on stamps is popular. The topic of stamps on stamps is an interesting one in
that it covers many different areas and avenues while still being true to the
stamp topic. The official bulletin of the Club is SOS SIGNAL, but it is not being published at the moment due to the absence of an editor (Are you interested in taking up the role?). Meanwhile, you can access past bulletins on SOS Signal. Additionally, some members, particularly our President, send out occasional brief articles of SOS relevance to members via email. Examples of these articles can be found in the "Articles of Interest" and "The First Page" sections. New SOS issues are listed in the "Gallery of New Issues". To become a member and be part of the club's email list please
