Philately Fridays: Bulgaria, 1985

Three stamps for the International Exhibition in Plovdiv, a world expo themed around the creations of young inventors.

Philately Fridays: United States, 1983

Designed by the legendary Saul Bass*, this couldn't be any more 1983 if it tried. Reminds me of TRON and Marble Madness... but also Joy Division.

* Thanks to Pileup reader Blair Thomson for the Saul Bass credit ID on this one!
