Moon Landing Anniversary, Germany
Moon landing souvenir sheet from Germany. My scanner did not pick up the gold lettering though. It came out black. But I was able to get a better angle with my phone to show off the gold foil. Very nice.

The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids
I like these stamps from Germany. The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids was a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. These are charity stamps with the supplement going to the Federal Association of Free Welfare Care (Bundesarbeitsgemeinschaft der Freien Wohlfahrtspflege).

TAAF 2020
Some of the latest TAAF stamps issued by La Poste. Not all of this year's January issues. Just the ones I liked. Particularly the engraved stamps. The Aurora Australis sheet and minerals pair have a varnish applied to give them a shine. The octopus and squid stamps are not my favorite but I like Pierre Denys de Montfort's giant octopus.
