An outstanding group of automotive experts was assembled to recommend cars for the collection. The collection became known as "The World's Greatest Car Collection" and AUTO 100 / The Leaders of the World Series. These stamps are genuine and were recognised and used as valid postal currency for the transport of mail throughout the world. All these stamps have been officially catalogued by Scott, Michel, Yvert et Tellier, Unificato, Stanley Gibbons, and Domfil. The stamps were on sale in Post Offices in the individual countries of origin for 90 days following issue, then withdrawn from sale. The stamps were also made available through the Crown / Commonwealth Agents until their full withdrawal in 1990. ![]() |
