Mostly out of print (OOP), these limited edition Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers and Return of the King philatelic items represent a superb and unique opportunity to commemorate these monumental movies. Unfortunately, as some of the best quality and most desirable ‘The Lord of the Rings’ authorized collectibles available, they are likely to increase in value and scarcity as more fans and collectors discover them.

BUY FROM US with the confidence that we abide by the American Philatelic Society’s Code of Conduct for stamp sales - all such items we offer are genuine NZ Post stamp issues licensed from New Line Productions and approved by director Peter Jackson. Do note that there are numerous fake or illegal ‘Lord of the Rings’ issues in circulation allegedly from ex-Russian or African republics (or non-existent countries) which are occasionally offered by unscrupulous stamp dealers and eBay sellers. Such fakes are referred to as Cinderellas or 'fantasy' labels: they look like real postage stamps, but are merely gummed labels designed to deceive stamp collectors. As a reputable stamp dealer we strongly advise you NOT to purchase fakes or counterfeits. If you have mistakenly purchased any believing them to be genuine stamps you should ask for a full refund from the seller, and notify the auction site and relevant authorities of fraud if applicable. You can find more information on fake stamps and a list of dealers known to sell them courtesy of PWMO and Wax Museum of Illegal Stamps.
