United States Post Office Rankin/Bass Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer 50th Anniversary Postage Stamps


Laurie McClellan and I wrote the first day issue historical text for the program and press release.  I was the first person to answer the question correctly on the USPS FACEBOOK page about the form of stop-motion Rankin/Bass used 'Animagic.'   I was the one that made that clear in the first place.   So many people call it 'Claymation' or just plain 'stop-motion,' which is incorrect.  I am so glad I got to show Arthur Rankin, Jr. the stamps and text before he passed.  He was proud.  He actually wanted them to use different images from our archives, for the actual stamps (I see one of them in part has been getting used on the tags for the merchandise).






I have been doing tons of media interviews already:  TV GUIDE, BAY AREA NEWSPAPERS, IHEART RADIO, WESTWOOD ONE, etc.  If you would like to set up an interview, email me at Rickgoldsc@aol.com

Love H-B and Ideal toys!

My Mom gave me all of my baby stuff...



I was a big baby at 10 lbs. 15 oz.!  I love the cover on the baby book!   I am told this may be a good night to watch NBC NIGHTLY NEWS with Brian Williams!

NEW from DARK HALL MANSION!

NEW BOOK!



We are working at lightning speed to get the NEW book out by December 6th!  I would suggest you PRE-ORDER as soon as the PRE-ORDER page is up to assure you get a copy for the holidays!  I am not sure of the page count yet...it won't be as many as my other books, but it contains some Amazing stuff!  

Today is FIRST DAY ISSUE day!

TV GUIDE



Love my vintage TV GUIDE Collection!  Did another interview with TV GUIDE today :)  The first article that came out on us in the late 1990's caused a sensation!   Do you still read the magazine in the larger format or online?

A wonderful night in Illinois!

Just had my first Trick or Treater!



Craziest Halloween weather day ever!  Snow flurries, windy and cold!  Yesterday would have been fine.   Today I can't even keep my Halloween decorations in place.   My tree is empty and my lawn was completely clean yesterday....today I have thousands of neighbors leaves on my lawn!
