Canada post's star trek stamps collection.

6 comments:

Canada 100% outdid the Americans on this. This is the series the USPS should have done. Of course, I get the fact that Colicos may not have made the cut but for being Canadian as well, but despite that fact, his inclusion seems appropriate. Even the FDC envelopes are great (I love the image chosen for the Deforest Kelley one) If only stamp collecting were still in its prime...

So far there are 3 or 4 countries that have done 50th anniversary Star Trek stamps that I can recall, U.S., Canada and the island nation of Tuvalu. Personally I like the Canadian stamps far more than the U.S. stamps, just very elegant. But as a Canadian I called out Canada Post on their website and facebook page for two reasons. Naturally you include the Enterprise, but to include Kor and Klingon battle cruiser and not Sulu, Chekov and Uhura makes ZERO sense to me. At the same time its all male centric. Seriously!? In this day and age they did not include any female cast members! They should have included Uhura as well as Nurse Chapel and even yeoman Rand. The small island nation of Tuvalu released a 50th anniversary women of Star Trek stamps. RESPECT! Regardless (I do not want to put a damper on things) all these stamps are beautiful and will be purchasing.

Did you read my earlier comment? Colicos is Canadian...so is Shatner. They obviously had to do Kirk/Spock/McCoy, and someone probably argued they should get another canuck in there if they could, hence Kor. That tipped the balance to having to include the D7. I never saw your posts elsewhere, but I assume others have responded to you with the same logic. Were Nichols/Barrett/Whitney Canadians, they might have made the cut.

Souvenir booklet and first day covers single pack ordered :-)

I have seen most of these in person being Canadian and they are beautiful. Very well done. I have ordered many of these plus the coins which are exceptional. You won't be disappointed.

News and information about stamp collecting, star trek’s 50th anniversary (canada 2016).

Scott Catalogue has assigned the following numbers to this issue:

From Canada Post:

Star Trek™ 50th anniversary collection ready to warp into the hands of fans and collectors Stamp issue highlights Canadian contributions to classic sci-fi TV show

Three of the five characters – Captain James T. Kirk, Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, and Klingon Commander Kor – were played by homegrown actors William Shatner, James Doohan and John Colicos, who hailed from Montréal, Vancouver and Toronto, respectively. Spock too, can claim a connection to Canada via Vulcan, Alberta, which shares its name with his home planet. Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy rounds out the issue.

About the stamps The Star Trek stamps featuring five characters from Star Trek: The Original Series measure 45 mm x 30 mm and are available in a booklet of 10 Permanent™ domestic rate stamps. They are also available in mixed rates in a prestige booklet and a souvenir sheet of five stamps. Two additional Permanent™ domestic rate stamps featuring the U.S.S. Enterprise and the Klingon battle cruiser measure 24 mm x 20 mm and are available in a souvenir sheet of two stamps, a coil of 50 stamps, a prestige booklet, and strips of four and 10 stamps. The high-value ($5) lenticular stamps measure 46 mm x 34 mm and are available in a souvenir sheet of two stamps. The stamps were printed by Lowe-Martin and the lenticular by Outer Aspect based on designs by Kosta Tsetsekas of Signal Design Group. Official First Day Covers featuring the various stamps were cancelled in Montréal, Vancouver, Toronto, and Vulcan, Alta. To download images of the stamps or to purchase philatelic products, please visit canadapost.ca/shop .

• Canada Post will issue “several” stamps for the 50th anniversary of the television show “Star Trek.” CPC tells The Virtual Stamp Club that the designs will be unveiled over the next four weeks in places with a tie-in to “Trek.” The two stamps shown here were unveiled at the home of the ultimate Star Trek fan: She has decorated her home in Notre-Dame-des-Prairies, Quebec, to emulate the Starship Enterprise. Click here to see a video on the announcement of the first two designs at Line Rainville’s home.

The next unveiling will be held Friday night, April 8th, in Vulcan, Alberta, at 7:30 pm local (Mountain) time. [see below]

The stamps will be issue sometime this spring, but should be available for sale at World Stamp Expo-NY 2016; it does not appear they will be issued at the show.

There will be more Star Trek stamps.

Updated April 18th: “There haven’t been any more “sightings” since Spock in Vulcan on April 8,” Legault told VSC. “Expect more in the coming weeks and the full series in May.”

The presenters today included Jim Phillips, Director of Stamps Services at Canada Post, Lissa Foster, Executive Director of the CMHF, and Dr. Sonny Kohli, Cloud DX co-founder and project lead for their Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE project. They were joined by 24 Grade 8 students from London’s Chippewa Public School, who are on-site taking part in “Museum School” all week.

Cloud DX is one of seven finalists (and the only Canadian company) in the running to win the $10 million Qualcomm Tricorder XPRIZE, a global competition to revolutionize digital healthcare. The winning team will develop a Tricorder device that will accurately diagnose 13 health conditions (12 diseases and the absence of conditions) and capture five real-time health vital signs, independent of a health care worker or facility, and in a way that provides a compelling consumer experience.

Updated April 28th: From Canada Post:

Check out the summary here of the stamp sightings from Montréal to Calgary – canadapost.ca/startrek .

The Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo continues through the weekend and a special presentation is planned for Friday afternoon. We hope to see you there.

Finally, keep an eye out next Thursday (May 5) when the remaining stamps and product for the 50th anniversary of Star Trek™ series is launched.

Updated April 29th: From Canada Post:

“This afternoon at the beginning of William Shatner’s appearance at the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo, Canada Post made a special delivery to the Canadian actor.

And on the easel, is that what the Kirk/Shatner OFDC will look like?

Where can they be purchased ? Can you leave a address ? Thanks.

http://www.canadapost.ca/shop when they go on sale (sometime before the end of May is all I know at this point).

From what I know, the stamps will be issued on May 13, 2016.

I have to make a correction, they will be issued tomorrow May 5, 2016. I saw them and they are absolutely incredible. Enjoy them. Good job Canada Post!! You can buy them from my store on Delcampe: http://www.delcampe.net/stores/bird889

Is this going to be a joint issue with the United States, when the American set of stamps is released?

No, these are independent issues that happen to have the same subject. The designs are not at all similar, and the release dates are far apart: This spring for Canada, “third quarter” for the U.S.

Canada Post Shipping Starting price Canada to USA $4.99 or $22.00, even on a single-stamp order.

HI Lefty – there is no shipping charges for orders to the USA/International for purchases over $25.

True. But if all you want is a First-Day of Mr Scott and Spock ( $1.85 x 2 ) then you’d better find a friend to place a ‘group’ order. Business is Business I guess.

Not true. No shipping to USA if orders are over $24.95

no african american

Great Post! Very Cool.
