MG Stamps of the world
"M.G. stamps of the world"

This website's goal is to document all existing postage-stamp depicting an M.G.

Admittedly it is one of the darker corners of the M.G. Memorabilia collecting scene, but I don't really care. It is a cheap and cheerful way to spend hours and hours of M.G. collecting fun. On the Internet, car boot sales, collectors fairs and in stamp shops new discoveries are waiting just for you!

Luckily I'm not the only one that likes M.G.-stamps and Norbert Lange from Hamburg, Germany is the actual cause of my "stamp disease".
On his excellent 250+ pages(!) "MG-memorabilia" list is also a page dedicated to stamps. You can download the list on the "weitere links"-page at the German M.G. Car Club website: www.mgcc.de, or click here:

But read this first:

WARNING!
READING THIS LIST CAN CAUSE AN OBSESSIVE URGE TO COLLECT M.G.-MEMORABILIA!
IT CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR SOCIAL LIFE AND FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Included on this list is a Jugoslavian stamp with a M.G. Y on it, which as a self respecting Y-owner I had to have. To my amazement to local stamp shop produced it without hesitation from one of his stockbooks. At a price of a few Euro's he included the MGA from Congo and the J2 from Guine Bissau. Without realising it, I walked out of the shop infected with an agressive collecting virus. To cure it I had to collect them all and as I was curious what it would take to make a website (it takes a lot…) I thought this a nice subject.

If you know of other M.G.-stamps, please let me know! Send me an e-mail with a detailed (300dpi?) scan. Or better still, donate (or if you live in Europe sell) the actual stamp to me. In both cases you will be mentioned as the "discoverer" of the stamp!

My e-mail adress is vdveery5888@wanadoo.nl , don't hesitate to send me an email; I really like feedback.
