TNT Post to Bring 225,000 Stamps on The Market In Mid July
Bearing The Likeness of The Maastricht 'Stand Alone Violinist' Andre Rieu
MAASTRICHT (UPDATE on André Rieu Stamps)
TNT Post (Principal mail provider in the Netherlands)
There will be nine different images on the stamps of the famous violinist and the stamps can only be purchased in books of nine. The stamps are issued in conjunction with Rieu's thirtieth jubilee year of being on stage.
TNT Post does this in cooperation with the organization "Foundation Helps Largest Family of the Netherlands", and part of the proceeds will go to charities.
TNT Post also divulged that they have plans to issue stamps of another known Maastricht citizen. Who that person is, can currently not be revealed, a spokesperson said. Nor whether this Maastricht citizen is still alive or dead.
►Note For those of you going to Maastricht who have been asking about purchasing the stamps ... there is a post office right on the Vrijthof just a few doors down from the DuCasque Hotel. It's a small, really nice Post Office and very modern inside. I'm sure they are going to be VERY busy with all of us on the morning of the 13th!! But my guess is that they're expecting that. :)

ReplyDeleteAndre Tulips, Andre stamps.. How about an Andre perfume next ?!
In reply to Andre selling perfume.
ReplyDeleteYes, Andre did sell "Stradivari" perfume and body lotion in his Boutique a few years ago. Wished he still had it for sale.

Who will be the next famous person from Maastricht? Benny Neyman?
ReplyDeleteThe Mayer Gerd Leers?? Or maybe the well known Camille Oostweghel. He is a friend of Andre and he transformed ancient castles into luxurous hotels (like the Kruisheren Hotel. When you are in Maastricht, have a look there!)
