This MyStamp Series from Portugal Post features the adventures of Tori, who is a time traveller and Stamp Collector, who goes on hilarious adventures with his wonderful travelling companion - Pisco.

Tori received a Christmas present "Ovotão" (the first machine that allows special children - stamp collectors - to travel through space and time ....).

Since 2017, from the two central figures - Tori and Pisco all adventures portrayed on Portuguese stamps unfold.

The two characters are time travellers, in a flying machine that works on seals.

Each issue represents a theme and an adventure with chronologies, subjects, curiosities and images that are being built in the course of a book.

The triple characters of Tori, Pisco and Ovotão, aim to be a form of projective identification of younger readers, graphically worked to be current, enigmatic and adventurous.

The 2022 edition:

Tori & Company Back to the World:

In 2017, Correios Portugal (Portuguese Post) began a new and improved "My Stamp Album collection".

With texts by Maria Inês de Almeida and illustrations by Micky, Correios combined facts about the stamp issues with visual stories that develop around them.

The illustrations employ a more current and dynamic graphic language, creating more appealing imaginary settings that catch the eye of younger generations of collectors.

The Cover of the 2022 Stamp album describing the Adventures of Tori, Pisco & Ovatao.

In this year’s edition, Tori and Pisco return to Earth after two years in isolation due to the Wuhan Virus pandemic, which limited them as much as it did the rest of the world.

Tori and Pisco travel freely and show us, through their own eyes, the various places they visit, the curiosities they encounter and everything they learn along the way, in yet another fun adventure.

This album contains twelve stamp issues, which also illustrate the exploits experienced by our travellers, the collectors of the future.
