I have heard a rumor that there is an alternate set of these that are florescent. Anybody know if this is true?

A full set of one my favorite stamp series arrived at the house yesterday. They're a Polish zodiac series that I'd only seen a few of before now. They're incomprehensible. Cancer is a lobster smoking a pipe in an armchair. Pisces is two crying fishes on a human body. What is going on with Scorpio? I love them.

These stamps deserve to be framed. Outstanding design and my favorite USPS issue for this year so far.

In a very fun twist of events, the Postcrosser mentioned is my husband. We make these postcards because he loves the older stamps and likes to put the stamp matching the design on them. I thought I recognized it immediately, and he confirmed when I called him over. The world is wonderfully small sometimes.
