PHQ Cards are postcard-sized reproductions of stamps, issued by the British Post Office since 1973. They feature a high-quality, enlarged image of the stamp design on the front and typically include details about the stamp and its designer on the back. These cards are popular collectibles in their own right, often collected alongside the stamps they represent.

Introduced as a new collectible format, PHQ cards expanded the appeal of stamp collecting by offering a different way to appreciate the artwork and design of British postage stamps.
