Jack Edwards Skydiving Stamps

   Hello and welcome to my first ever set of stamps! 

My Dad has posted elsewhere on this forum that I have decided to do a sponsored tandem skydive to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I hope you will find these stamps interesting enough to want to add them your cinderella stamp collections.

After much discussion I have decided not to sell them as individual stamps or sheets but to offer the whole set of 9 minisheets of 9 stamp designs in return for a minimum donation of £20.00.  

For a minimum donation of £30.00 I will also include a commemorative cover AND a bonus sheet of stamps. 

In the UK, postage and packing for each order will be £1.50 extra. My Dad has promised me some as yet unreleased Laernu stamps to put on the envelopes to make it even more fun!

After the jump has been completed I will produce a Special Cover which features all of the variant stamps (yes there are variants on each sheet, I couldn't resist that!) and this special cover will be signed by all 3 of us who will be jumping for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and hopefully the tandem jumpers too. If you think you might like a special cover then please let me know in plenty of time because I will need to get everything printed and ready to take with me well in advance. A minimum donation of £15 is requested for a special cover, but I wont ask for the payment until after the jump, when I know I have everything signed.

When I'm sure how many sheets I have left over I will also sell single stamps if anyone would like those.

The photo is a tiny bit fuzzy so it does not spoil the fun of spotting the variations, but the actual stamp sheets are just as sharp and clearly printed as my Dad's own stamps.

My aim is to raise as much money for charity as possible, so please be generous.

Please contact me via the Private Messaging system with your name and address and I will send you details of my Paypal address.  If you are overseas I will update your order details once I know how much extra the postage will cost to your part of the world.

I hope this will be the first of many stamps I will produce.

Many thanks to everyone for all their good wishes on the Cinderella Stamps thread

Jack Edwards

	. . . . have a good one Jack. And remember, any landing that you walk/limp/crawl away from was a great/good/okay landing.

	Well - he is down in one piece - but has cleared off to celebrate, so hopefully he will post some more pictures later. In the meantime here is one very happy Jack, with fellow jumpers and fund-raisers Bella and Ben... The special covers should be going in the post this weekend, thanks again to everyone who has contributed for their generosity and good wishes.
