Most Attractive Souvenir Sheet

I've just started working on Czechoslovakia and recently won this semi-postal. I must say that I think it is the most attractive souvenir sheet that I have seen so far. I like it because it has just one stamp. It is simple in it's design. The eye doesn't get distracted trying to figure out which of many stamps to focus on. I wish the United States (my first focus and bulk of my collection) would put a little more effort into stamp design. It seems with each passing year they get even more mundane. Like the "Go Green" stamps of this year. Anyway, I was wondering what souvenir sheets are among your favorites?

Sadly, I'm afraid those days are long past.

I agree that yours is an impressive sheet

Like you the focus of my collection is US (and Canada too). Have a couple of the older US sheets, but little else.
Owned this one for a short time before I sold it (at a loss, poor timing) but thought it was pretty nice.



Will admit to regretting selling it, but hey, there'll be others.

That Czech sheet is spectacular Ron! I will keep my eyes open for a fine used copy.

James - I like that Egypt sheet. Too bad you had to part with it!

Bee - I, too, would love to come across a nice used copy of that Czech sheet.

Is that the Flag represented on her skirt in the Czech sheet?

This is not a single stamp sheet But I really like it.

jayvin - are those stamps perforated as one's upside down and offset from a proper position on the sheet and most are offset as well.

I've always been a sucker for oversize stamps! All three look great!

I have to work on my scanning skills. Had to spli it

1997 Tag der Briefmarke

Jayvin - the detail in your sheet is just incredible. I don't think that I have ever seen one as ornate as that.

Newbie question - why do you call it a semi-postal? So would all souvenir sheets be semi-postal?

Some countries at some times had an extra charge that would be paid to the post office clerk at the time of purchase that went towards the charity / cause but the stamp did not have the +xx extra denomination.

Here is a better scan with the stamps in their correct place.
No they are not perforated.
This is mine, I took the other scan from an auction.

I like all of the referances to the US and New Haven CT.

james.....i have a copy of the Egypt sheet for sale, at whatever price you want !

A few of my favourites.....not in any particular order !









I am a sucker for one-stamp Miniature Sheets !

I had to get this one. Quite a large sheet at 22 x 19 cm. That's a mint "classic album covers" self-adhesive version on the disc.
