MaltaPost p.l.c. Philatelic Bureau will be issuing the ninth card in series on the date when the day, month and year coincide – 09.09.09.
The first Card in this series had been issued on 1 January 2001, with a date stamp carrying the same figures – 01.01.01. The last Card in this popular collectable series is expected to be issued on 12th of December of the year 2012, and stamped with the figures 12.12.12.
This year’s Philatelic Bureau Card, which retails at Euro 3.50, will carry a Euro 2.50 stamp from the set ‘Vintage Postal Transportation’ which was issued in April 2009. The Philatelic Bureau Card will be stamped with the 9th September 2009 date. The card will be issued on Wednesday, the 9th of September 2009 and will be available from all MaltaPost Branches in Malta and Gozo and from the MaltaPost Mobile Unit.

Very expensive for a simple piece of cardboard with a stamp. These cards used to sell for 50c (in Maltese lira!). Great contrast however! No wonder Maltapost make such crazy prices.
