Video Game Fee Stamp (Issued July 12, 2016).

 
ATTENTION, POKEMON GO PLAYERS: You are not permitted to enter my estate of Transcamster Bog, Caithness, Scotland, to collect Pokemon unless you pay the Laird's Video Game Fee, currently 1.00 British pound. Persons who pay the Video Game Fee will receive a Video Game Fee stamp. This is Transcamster Bog's first revenue stamp. This is possibly the first local post revenue stamp in the U.K. and the first revenue stamp related to video gaming anywhere in the world. Design based on an illustration by Tina Olah.
 
Since this is a revenue stamp, there is no first day cover for it. The Laird will make it available for purchase by philatelists through eBay.

The stamps are imperforate and ungummed (requires glue).

Transcamster Bog stamps are available on eBay, with sales in U.S. dollars on U.S. eBay and sales in U.K. pounds on U.K. eBay:
