Yesterday friday, is issued l'Écho de la timbrologie magazine whose chief-editor announces that the self-adhesive version of the Bicentenary of the Cour des comptes stamp will be sold in July by Phil@poste, and she proudly concludes : "One no more time, no hurry needed. And an excellent reason to read L'Écho de la timbrologie..."
Today saturday, it's the turn to Timbres magazine to appear. It announces that the Cour des comptes (that bought and sell the self-adhesive stamp in the first place) has some stamps left with the personalized label for the 25th birthday of the Chambres régionales des comptes (the reason every one wants to hurry). You have the right to purchase one stamp and label at one euro and write at the adress of one of the Cour des comptes' employee (see Sebphilatélie in French).
Since the hurry problem around this self-adhesive stamp seems to me not the problem of having it, but that collectors wanted it with the personalized label, I think that l'Écho should find another way to tease readers than using its relations with Phil@poste that has now the habit to issue this self-adhesive stamps producted at the demand of firms some months after gummed ones.
In order to watch for an accusation of me having favorite, here is a problem in Timbres magazine : they interviewed Yves Tardy, president of the French Philatelic associations' federation, one month to soon. He was asked about the projects of the FFAP and he answered : "I can't say anything before the board [of the FFAP] has been told" about these projects. More interesting is so the advertisment on page 25 for a book by Guy Prugnon : Taxes et modalités de taxation de la lettre ordinaire dans le régime général international (1876/1975), issued by Timbropresse editions. The author explained in the May issue of Timbres magazine that he tried to summarize the change in the way of calculating and showing that postage were due, on French letter to foreign countries between 1876 and 1975.
