Welcome
to
Norvic Philatelics

We try to be the web's number 1 resource for up-to-date
news about new stamps of Great Britain.
The 2026
stamp programme is underway with a surprise for most
people with the Nteflix series Stranger Things. Two
issues in each of January and February suggests that it will
be a difficult year.
This website - and eventually the business - was created over
twenty years ago in 1998 with the Lighthouses stamp issue. We
have recreated and updated those pages here.
The story of our first 20 years is on
the blog here.
As it is much quicker for us to write a blog entry
than to update a website, our very latest news will be on
our blog. The last 4 blog entries are summarised in
the column to the right.
E-MAILing us: Many pages have clickable 'email'
links. If you write, please use the SUBJECT line in your
mail to indicate which stamp issue you are writing about.

If you need anything for your collection which isn't shown
here - please ask, we may have it. Our webshop
has stamps, fdcs, booklets, postal stationery, world postal
history, maximum cards, picture postcards, with integrated
shipping and payment facilities.
We also have the embryo of
a site devoted to the stamps and postal history of
the countries of the Former Soviet Union in the 1990s.
This is a fascinating area of modern postal history and we
hope to find time away from GB new issues to develop this
site to show material from Ukraine, Russia, Azerbaijan,
Georgia, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Lithuania etc, as well as
Belarus which is already shown. You can see
it
here.

Is this £2.20 King Charles definitive the most boring
colour of a really unflattering definitive? Apparently
not as subsequent replacement airmail values were just as
bad! (£2.50
and £2.80)
The £3.40 of September 2025 uses the same colour as now shown
above.

offered on our blog. The aim is to add new categories every
