Japan Post to Sell Commemorative Sega 60th Anniversary Stamps, Pins

In many parts of the world, people, places, and other pieces of history are still forever immortalized by one of the most common circulated marks of commerce: A postage stamp.

Sega will join such historical marks by way of the Japan Post. Today, Sega of Japan announced the shipping company will produce a set of ten commemorative stamps, with nine representing the consoles the company has produced over the course of its 60-year history, from the SC-3000 in 1983 to its last hurrah in the console business: the Dreamcast.

But that’s not all: Japan Post will also release a similar set of commemorative pins, in similar style and fashion.

The pin set will cost ¥11,000, or a bit over $102. You won’t want to affix those Sega stamps on any parcels, either; that set will run you ¥4,400, or over $40.

Pre-orders will begin for both items on May 1st. It’s unclear how or if the sets can be imported, though there is a landing page for them on the Japan Post website. If we find a way, we’ll be sure to tell you.
