I think it means anyone vying for the CP goody bag needs to get the stamps to him by then.

2 days left Coldplayers!

 

I looked up a little info on Stamp Collecting so we are in the know! From 2 Click Stamps:

A stamp collector is a hobbyist who takes pleasure in collecting postage stamps. Today, stamp collecting and

philately are used interchangeably. That is why the other name for a stamp collector is called a philatelist.

 

But strictly speaking, a philatelist studies and specializes in postage stamp identification. You can still be called a philatelist even if you do not own a stamp collection.

On the other hand, stamp collectors or stamp hobbyists only want to acquire stamps solely for pastime.

Most

famous stamp collectors are a combination of both as stamp enthusiasts and as serious philatelists.

 

When someone collects postal stamps to the extreme, it is called philatomania. For example, a philatomaniac may collect old postage stamps and make it into a collage.

What is the origin of the word philatelist?

 

The word philately was coined by a French stamp hobbyist named Georges Herpin.

 

He combined two Greek words: philos, meaning “love of”, and atelia, meaning “exemption from postal taxes” to form the Anglicized term philately.

 

Long time ago, the letter’s addressee or receiver was obligated to pay for the mail. Since the postal service rates were high, people declined receiving mails.

 

Luckily, the British thought of a clever way to let the recipient know that his or her letter was already taxed at the local post office. Hence, the first postage stamps were made.

What is the proper name for a stamp collector?

 

Before the word philatelist became the universally-accepted term for a stamp collector or any postal item enthusiast, many stamp collector names emerged before the 1860s.

 

A stamp collector was then called a timbromanist since the old name for the art of stamp collecting was timbrophily, which was often used synonymously with timbrology and timbromania.

 

However, many stamp collectors found the name unpleasant. Eventually, they adapted new term philatelist.

I sent some today, it was my day off since last week. I tried to get some that were special in a way, but my postal office only had orchids stamps, so I sent those only :(. Hope he receives it! I do not think many Costa Ricans would have sent stamps, so they might be fresh in his collection.

Waiting patiently for a Phil update. I'm sure many lovely stamps were sent in. So much to account for at the Accounting office of Dales Evans :bomb::dance:

Good evening. Following last month's request from Coldplay's fifth member / creative director for stamps, you folks sent them from all over the world. It was an incredible response, and Phil asked us to pass on this message:
