Finally, I've found another one of the few stamp websites that isn't all about ancient and obscure bits of paper that cost an arm and a leg - The Punk Philatelist. Part of Punk's manifesto reads:
Punk Philatelist is out to prove that stamps and other philatelic stuff are not just dusty things for old people to collect before they die, but a fascinating and vibrant expression of pop culture. Based in Melbourne, Australia, Punk hit the internet in 2015 with a manifesto:
How the hell has it come to pass that the cool young people are wearing gingham dresses and crocheting and trimming their beards with scrimshaw knives, while remaining oblivious to the joys of the wonderful olde-schoole world of philately?
The site is colourful and conversational, with a great sidebar full of links. You can also watch the team in action on their YouTube channel: Stamps Aren't Cool.
I shall return...often...to read more.
