This is the first stamp coming from Saint Thomas and Prince in this millenium that I want to have in my collection.

 

STP is always a candidate for me to the doubtful issues, but in this case I will let it pass.  I do not know if it is because differs in the format (it is not the classic bogus combo of Minisheet + Block) or because it contains real photos from the country. I do not know.  But I will list this in the regular section.

 

Also, who knows?  Maybe, with this kind of stamps, we are closer to a real issue about Lighthouses from STP in the future.
