Excessive Stamps from Tuvalu

An interested page was pointed out on RCSD by Edward Locke. It was published here: http://www.tuvaluislands.com/stamps/phil-bur/st-formlist.htm

and lists as well the stamps available at the Tuvalu Philatelic Bureau (TPB) as those produced by the Intergovernmental Philatelic Corporation (IGPC). Please note that the IGPC stamps are: "valid only on Philatelic bureau mail, and are not placed on sale at regular post offices."

The following stamps are available from the TPB. Click on the individual sets to access the order forms. These can be printed on your printer, filled out, and mailed to the Philatelic Bureau. Payment methods are on the order forms. Those collectors paying by credit card may also Fax their orders to: (688) 20 712. Tuvalu uses the Australian Dollar.

TPB: Stamps produced or contracted by Tuvalu Philatelic Bureau. These are postally valid throughout Tuvalu.

IGPC: Stamps produced by the Intergovernmental Philatelic Corporation with approval of the Tuvalu Philatelic Bureau. Most are postally valid only on Philatelic bureau mail, and are not placed on sale at regular post offices.
