Ah, stamps! A reminder of how things used to be back in the good ol’ days. Mention stamps to anyone born any time before the early 90’s and they’ll tell you all about their memories of stamp collecting back when they were kids. Needless to say, you don’t care. You were born in the year 2000; what even are stamps?
That being said, stamps are also a mainstay of the postage system (for obvious reasons) and Pos Malaysia are bringing the hype with a limited edition Batman themed collection that’s sure to get you ripping open the box your stamp album is in and bring back all that nostalgia. As companies do these days, the collaboration was first teased on Twitter.

In the teaser tweet, which merely showed the DC superhero’s famous logo, you get a date and what looks like references to the 80th anniversary of the Batman series. Pos Malaysia then followed it up with this gem.
80 RTs and we’ll show one of our upcoming Batman 80th Anniversary stamps. And we’ll give a random follower a limited-edition Batman 80th Anniversary stamp set for free!
Winner will be announced tomorrow. Open to all, worldwide. #Batman80 #PosMalaysia #Pos4you #DC pic.twitter.com/DV3ovzzlTW

You may think that girl you’ve had a crush on for years is a tease but she can’t possibly compare to this. HALF A STAMP?! More specifically, half a stamp of Batman?! Of course it got 12 times the retweets needed for Pos Malaysia to reveal the full stamp, and boy is it a beaut.
Wow, thanks for the RTs! As promised, here’s one of our 11 limited-edition Batman 80th Anniversary stamps!
The winner will be announced tomorrow. Stay tuned! #Batman80 #PosMalaysia #Pos4you #DC pic.twitter.com/yWzxicM17t

Now if that doesn’t make you want to drop everything and start stamp collecting, I don’t know what will. The entire set will comprise of 11 stamps. That’s 11 batman themed stamps, which makes this collaboration 11 times better. No news yet on when exactly it’ll be available but it’s safe to say the demand for these is going to be through the roof. Best keep yourself updated.
