Smilers Sheets

I was astonished to learn from a friend recently that some of
the early Smilers Sheets (also known as Post Office Label Sheets)
were fetching silly prices.

Then the 2004 SG Concise Catalogue came out, and I saw
that LS2 and LS3 were catalogued at 380 UKP, with
LS2a and LS3a unpriced (these have a very minor change
with an imprint changed from Post Office 2000 to Consignia 2001).

The latter are on offer from Arthur Ryan for about 750 UKP
for the pair!

I have eagerly checked my two, and to my delight I find that
I have the Consignia 2001 variety.

If not World Cruise, perhaps Cross-channel time!

What silly money - there must be more out there.

Hi Mette,
I was curious also,
looks like they are some sort of Souvenir Sheet
created by similar methods of personalised sheetlets
whereby the "smiler" is the tab se-tenant to the std issue.

There are some here

Thanks Rodney :-) Now I understand much better. Nice when such items can
fetch good prices :-)
