Wow! I'm full of questions today. As you can tell, I'm working on my
Spain. Here are a couple Souvenir sheets that I can't seem to find
listed. I have had them laying about for a few years and just don't
know what to do with them. I think they are cool. Any ideas as to
their proper place in the album?
Thanks!

Hello Wolf.
You may wish to reserve a small section for the Spanish Civil War at the
end of your Spain collection. Over time you will find many a
Scott-unlisted item to fit there. There were many "pro" issues at the
time intended as charity for the pro-xxx; in this case, the population of
Segovia (between Madrid and Valladolid). I have seen Barcelona, Valencia,
Valladolid, .... If our new friend Pedro C. is reading this he might even
have a Civil War catalogue that lists them -- can't remember the name of
the book right now to save my life.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I've just checked 2009 and 2000 editions of Spanish Edifil catalog and
they do not list them. It is the first time I see those sheets. If possible
I'll ask a national expert when he comes from his holidays in a month or so.
They do not seem to be listed in the civil war years nor post-war years, nor
in the Beneficencia (Charity) section, so I assume they are really rare, or
not issued proofs.
