Whoa, what a great block for the Who!! I love the Tommy double album! The United Nations block is also very attractive!

That would be Sir Roger Daltrey! Do you think they'll ever go away?
All those faces on the UN stamps is a joy.

These stamps are new to me, too. The UN stamps are wonderful. I like to see so many different people on a stamp!
