SEDE VACANTE STAMPS ARE SELLOUT
From CNNews:
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of special stamps issued to mark the period between Pope John Paul II’s death and the election of his successor have sold out, the Vatican post office said Monday.
The last of the stamps were sold on Saturday afternoon, the Vatican post office said, just five days after they went on sale and two days before the beginning of the conclave to elect a new pope.
