By Joe O'Donnell

Linn's Stamp News gives you a quick look at what's going on in the world of stamp-collecting.

1. Birth search

The UK's Royal Mail has a new webpage that shows visitors the stamps that were released during their birth year, so long as it's between 1965 and 2015.

For example, your author's birth year is 1987. Released that year was a stamp honoring the 150th anniversary of Queen Victoria's accession, another honoring British architects in Europe, and another paying tribute to studio pottery.
