PHQ Card
The 'PHQ' stands for Postal Headquarters. PHQ Cards (also known as Stamp Cards) are postcards that feature an enlargement of British stamp issues.
All items published by the Post Office are given a number which is prefixed by letters. The first card issued, on 16 May 1973, was numbered PHQ 1, and the numbering sequence has continued to the present day.
These collector's items are printed in much smaller quantities than the matching stamps and show much more detail.
They can be collected unused (Mint PHQ Cards) or first day of issue with the stamp on the front (Front FDI PHQ Cards) or stamp on the reverse (Back FDI PHQ Cards).
