Has anyone picked up their 2014 Medal of Honor (Korean War) Prestige Folio stamps today? I did.

Although the important thing is that (except for the date) the stamps appear the same as in the 2013 World War II varieties, it appears to me the 2014 Korean War issue is on a slightly brighter white paper background ... has anyone else noticed this?

It also appears as though the 2014 stamps have the tagging closer to the stamps themselves, whereas the 2013 edition had a larger margin of tagging surrounding the stamps.

Although the prestige folio is not that important in terms of subtle changes comparing the 2013 to the 2014 issue, there are some distinct difference there, too, namely:

The 2014 MOH Korean War recipients are shown 5x4 (with the center block used for the title: "Medal of Honor/United States of America". The 2013 MOH WW2 recipients were shown in 4x4 (without title). This also serves to explain why the images are a bit smaller and the white space around the two stamps on the cover is a bit larger on the 2014 Folio than that from 2013, as shown here:




Has anyone else picked up on other changes?

I tried purchasing the souvenir sheet from three post offices in New York City including the James A. Farley Post Office on 8th Avenue --- this is the beautiful post office location that's open every day --- but none of them has the souvenir sheet! I think I'll wait until the APS Stamp Show later this month. I am hoping the souvenir sheet will be available during the show.
