Only 1,000 of them were available. Source: Linn's Stamp News on-line.

I suppose that they weren't bought by some uninformed collectors, who
will never recover their money, but by some kind of investors who know
what they're doing.

I sure they are pretty in a way, but their size makes them really
awkward to properly store or display without damage.

Certainly not as large as a sheet of GB Line Engraved! Nearly any
framing shop could make an archival quality 'display' for it.

Yet another example of the USPS return to 'special favour' production
for $$$!


There were a couple letters in Linn's this week protesting the sale of
these uncut sheets. No one is forced to buy them and they are indeed a
pain to store.
