Billy the Kid
Billy the Kid — Royal Golden Guernsey goat kid (G.O.A.T. N°2)
Guernsey Post issued the *Billy the Kid* cyberstamp on 16 July 2026 as part of the second Royal Golden Guernsey Goat cyberstamp edition (G.O.A.T. N°2), one year after the original Billy and Nanny cyberstamps. The trading-card-sized cyberstamp pairs a removable £5 definitive stamp with a digital goat kid whose traits (fur colour, hats, scarves, glasses, accessories) are assigned at random and ranked in five rarity groups from Common to Ultimate G.O.A.T. Legend. As in 2025, the digital twin is unlocked via NFC or QR code and lives in Guernsey Post’s collector album, not on a blockchain; it is not transferable. The Kids edition is limited to 2,500 cyberstamps per design and sells for £15.00, with a souvenir sheet of two stamps carrying a special cancellation. Companion design: *Nanny the Kid*.

Second Guernsey cyberstamp edition (G.O.A.T. N°2), one year after the original Billy and Nanny goats. Billy the Kid is the young billy of the Royal Golden Guernsey Goat, drawn by Chris Griffiths with randomly assigned traits — fur colour, hats, scarves, glasses, accessories — that place each digital kid in one of five rarity groups from Common to Ultimate G.O.A.T. Legend. The card is produced by Stampfinity and ships with a souvenir sheet of two stamps set at Bordeaux Harbour with a special cancellation. Companion design: Nanny the Kid.
As in 2025, this is deliberately not a blockchain product: the digital goat is activated via NFC or QR code, lives in Guernsey Post’s collector album and is not transferable — only the physical card can be traded.
Curator note: mintage conflict — guernseycyberstamps.com states 2,500 per Kids design, crypto-stamps.org lists 2 × 7,500 (the 2025 figure). Issuer source wins; not verified against a numbered card.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many Billy the Kid cyberstamps exist?
Guernsey Post states 2,500 Billy the Kid cyberstamps (and 2,500 Nanny the Kid). The aggregator crypto-stamps.org lists 7,500 per design, which matches the 2025 edition rather than the Kids edition.
Is the Billy the Kid cyberstamp on a blockchain?
No. Like the 2025 cyberstamps, the digital goat is verified via NFC and QR code in Guernsey Post’s own collector album; it is not an NFT and cannot be transferred separately from the physical card.
