Did they also hire a competent social media handler as well? They have been doing really well for the past week!

Yeah this is very clearly an attempt to hide the 'four piece 1 and 2' as no group shot of only 4 ever turns up. It's sad because the two 4-piece line ups marked very specific and successful times as well. Like, they have never done a tour as successful as the 2019 one, a full Stadium tour! At least ONE picture from that would have made sense to include. blink.gif

NONETHELESS, I gotta tell everyone that I bought a the Presentation pack yahoo.gif First piece of merch in a long time and it had to be an iconic one wub.gif

Does Posh not like her 90's image? She is the only one who has picked a solo shot from the ROTSG Tour. thinking.gif

The images were picked to do the best to show a spread of years but also only 5 piece. I don't think the girls picked their own images just ok'd what was chosen.

It was done so you had, 97, 98, 07, 08 and 2012 covered as well as Istanbul, Wembley (though most wont realise that means arena when they were 5 piece of Emma) Brits, US ROTSG, Ireland and Olympics.

This is defo merch worth buying. Stamps generally only rise in value. Might take a few years but these will be those sort after items that pop up on ebay for a fortune, especially any if the limited edition pieces.

I've just listed the 3 items sold out in the post above. The two framed items and the envelope. You cant pre-order them anymore just be notified when back in stock.

You also cant tell if anything is close to selling out as it only lets you order max 3 of anything.

Mel B doing US TV rounds today for AGT is good timing for this, the stamps got shown and Mel talked about them.

Honoured to be the first girl group to be featured on a commemorative stamp and so proud of everything we’ve achieved @SpiceGirls!! Thank you to my family, friends and all of our fans around the world for the love and support! Kisses @EmmaLeeBunton @OfficialMelB @GeriHalliwellHorner @MelanieCMusic xx

Really glad Victoria posted about it, it is far too big a thing to ignore. Of course because Victoria and David have added @SpiceGirls to their posts about the samps insta followers are up 6k already.

If I remember rightly Sammy told me she'd done an Instagram story about it!


Only another couple of days until the release date. I'm looking forward to receiving the stuff I've ordered but... I spent quite a lot in the end... so I also feel a bit eek about it laugh.gif

She did indeed and obviously she has been promoting the stamps on US tv and radio too.

All the items will be top quality as it is done by Royal Mail and all 5 Spice Girls are at least invested enough in the stamps to post about them. So you should look forward to your items and enjoy/cherish them. I am looking forward to mine.
