This is probably my favourite success, I started collecting Star Wars autographs, already have Dave Prowse, Jeremy Bulloch and today I received Kenny Baker! Still waiting for Jason Wingreen, Billy Dee Williams and Jimmy Smits.

The stamp was unused? Does it mean I can use it once more?

Congrats! Actually, the stamp can be re-used. But I heard it is illegal. Use at your own risk, but the most they can do is get you to pay the postage again. I guess. Congrats again!

I find it best not to post it on the internet when you commit a crime. Just saying.

I wouldn't call that crime. It is their mistake if they forgot to add their post marks on my stamp.

You may not call it a crime but the Government does and that's what matters.

I would be very surprised if your country's government doesn't have the same kind of laws regarding this.

Yep, this is fraud. You knowingly reuse it so it is a crime.
Rather silly to post it on here..
