Special Stamps are the ultimate celebration of a way of life — and the world’s most popular miniature art form. Then there’s the other mini-masterpieces, the Definitives. The Penny Black started the revolution in 1840, and since then the purity and clarity of these classic stamps has seen them become the cornerstone of collecting.
