The next issue is the 175th Anniversary of Penny Black. It is postponed and will be issued on 30 April 2015 (latest information). It will be a single miniature sheet with a stamp on stamp design (something like the Day 2 WYSE MS). Face value RM 3.00.
Penny Black??? Without Penny Black, we will not be collecting stamps! Here is a good write-up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penny_Black
UK’s The 175th Anniversary of the Penny Black
Meanwhile, if you want a matching FDC from UK, check out Royal Mail. The UK issue is on 06 May 2015.

You can order from Royal Mail on the day of issue “online”. FDCs are NOT available for online order after 06 May 2015!
However, the UK FDC will be printed with your name and address. Thus I will not be taking shared orders for this item as the FDCs will all be printed with my name and address!!!
If you want a fresh clean FDC, you need to order from the dealers in UK (expensive postage) or drop by Singapore around June to buy from their Philatelic Bureau (any branch office) as they sell UK products. In any case, UK products are expensive even though the pound has dropped.
I hope to bring you more updates as the information is fine tuned. Meanwhile….keep some money. Cost of collecting just went up 6% today.

Thank you very much.
It was fun reading up on Penny Black’s history actually. I guess I took its history for granted. My attention lately has been on reading up on the Pony Express history back in US. Looking forward to more quizzes.
