1. Rough stamp

New Zealand's All Blacks, one of the more storied and recognizable rugby organizations in the world, is being honored with a one-of-a-kind stamp from New Zealand Post, one made with real fabric from the team's Adidas jerseys.

The stamp is now available worldwide and you can learn more about it here.

2. David Feldman sale exceeds expectations

"In Geneva, the firm of David Feldman held its summer auction June 22-25. The big surprise was the result obtained for a series of 19th-century revenue stamps from the Australian state of Victoria."

3. World War I stamps

"In 2014, Jersey Post began a series of WWI commemorative sets. On Aug. 4, 2015, Jersey issued its second set in remembrance: The Great War, Part 2, Change and Progression."
