Y is for Yellow

Going with the old and trusted standby for Y in an A-Z challenge, here are several yellow stamps on an envelope I sent out (OK, I know some are more beige...)


Oscar de la Renta, 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, WPA Posters (I know, I've shown this one under T is for Tennis), 75th Anniversary of Batman, 50th Anniversary of Wonder Woman, and the 1c definitive Apples has some nice yellow tones. The 5c coffee pot is the odd man out.

  1. A nice combination of Yellow! And I think it never a problem when stamps are shown twice - repetition helps the memory (I had forgotten that you posted this specific WPA poster before :-) )

    1. Yes, the manila color of the mailing envelope does go with the stamps, I never even thought about it.

  4. The combination is excellent. I think they will be some definitive lemons in USPS this year... :)

    1. Yes, I think the large coil sets (for automated machines) are already available. Usually they don't release smaller sized sheets for a while.

  6. Vibrant yellows, now that is a colour that cheers up any letterbox. I like the combinations.

    1. Yes, always great to have something cheery arrive in the mail - particularly at this time of year when it can be pretty dreary outside.
