First US Souveneir Sheets

My local stamp dealer gave me a copy (at the urging of another collector).

I have at least one of the ungummed sheets, and have seen them in quantity. The gummed sheets are not nearly as common, although they are around.

what are we considering the first souvenir sheet as far as I now they are all cheap except white plains.

I have almost all the US souvenir sheets, with the exception of White Plains. I haven't been able to bring myself to pay the price for it yet.

Following up on wt1's earlier citation of a Linn's article on souvenir sheets, here is another one on the same topic, but giving an interesting take on the differences in terminology used by American and British collectors.

The 1926 White Plains with the inscriptions in the margins was the first US souvenir sheet to the best of my knowledge.

After the White Plains sheet, the next few US souvenir sheets were

1933 - Century of Progress/APS Convention (Scott 730 and 731)

1934 - Byrd Antarctic Expedition/National Stamp Exhibition (735)

1934 - APS convention (750)

1934 - Trans Mississippi Philatelic Exposition (751)

1936 - TIPEX (778)

1937 - SPA Convention (797)

Uncut sheets of the first five of these, 730, 731, 735, 750, and 751 were also among the Farley Special printings (Scott numbers 766-770).
