Royal Mail Iron Maiden Philatelic Collection

One of the most revered and influential heavy metal bands from the golden age of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, now has its own stamp collection. Earlier this month, Royal Mail revealed 12 stamps issued as a tribute to the English heavy metal band.

Of the 12 stamps from the Royal Mail Iron Maiden Philatelic Collection, 8 feature images of some of their legendary performances from the 1980s to 2018. Further 4 stamps, which are presented in a miniature sheet, pay homage to the band’s mascot and undisputable heavy metal icon, Eddie. The backdrop of the miniature sheet is taken from Iron Maiden’s first official live album, Live After Death (1985).

The stamps, along with a range of collectible products, are available to buy now from the Royal Mail web store. Super fans may want to check out the Iron Maiden Limited Edition Platinum Eddie Stamps (£199.99 or around US$248), featuring platinum-layered Eddie Stamp Sheet stamps packaged in an Iron Maiden flight case.
