1. Architect. SG SOTW does not show variations in printing, just the cheapest version. The one on the right seems to be the one listed as SG2252b (issued in May 1959), and found with the definitives at 1929.
2. Ballet. SG6985 (2001)
3. Locomotives. SG946 (1941) |

to rod222 The Souvenir Sheet you have doubts about was issued for the All-Union Philatelic Exhibition of 1972 to celebrate 50th anniversary of the USSR (formed in 1922). Dedicated to stamps, an early one used as illustration on the sheet, it was issued officially and included in some catalogues of that time. As Souvenir Sheets were not for postal usage, unlike what is called blocks in Russia, which either wholly or as stamps taken out from them could be used on mail, when you come across cancelled ones, it is done as a mark of a visit to the exhibition. |

A little addition to what I have said... All of your Souvenir Sheets, except a few (I noticed 3) are what is called blocks in Russia. So they were postally valid and exist used on covers. |

Thank you very much CGS,
In the west we do not use "blocks" as far as I am aware but use "minisheets" and "souvenir sheets" to differentiate. Thanks for the advice on the souvenir sheet! Shall use in my album.

I think the term "minisheet" should be applicable only to your admirals (page 2 of this thread), referring traditionally to sheets up to 12 stamps, as opposed to "large/full" sheets holding up to 100. Here is another example, this time all the stamps are the same.  |

Hmmm, I havn't seen any advice as the correct determination of verbiage for these sheets, I go by my catalogue being Stanley Gibbons.
What year is you above sheet? I do not have this sheet in my digital collection.

I only tell you what is considered proper in Russia, as we are talking of the Russian issues. Otherwise, of course, whatever is regarded right. The sheet shown is 2009. There were some in the Soviet time of this kind, yet not as many. For more info refer to the offical site of THE Russian stamp-issuing agency: http://www.rusmarka.ru/en/catalog/marka.aspx |
