Souvenir Stamps Question

in the scott catalog how do you look up souvenir stamps?

Tina
What do you mean by a souvenir stamp??
Can you post an example ??

Londonbus1.....Not a souvenir !

Seems to me that you're thinking of souvenir sheets, of which the two Russian issues in the lower right corner are (the rest appear to be mostly what is known as se-tenets, which has to do with different designs attached to each other, and miniature sheets, which the East German issue is).

The characteristics of souvenir sheets are that the stamps more often than not are imperforated and have to be cut from the sheet with scissors, and that they are always commemorative in nature, showing usually one example from each value in a set.

Scott is all over the map on these without much consistency. In some countries they document the various souvenir sheet issues well, in other countries they miss a lot of them. Usually you will find reference to them in the small note following an issue listing, along the lines of "There was a souvenir sheet issued with 860, 861 and 862 depicted, value $1.20." As well, there may be a notation under 860 that there was an imperf version also, and whether this came from a souvenir sheet is usually left to question.

And that's usually the extent of it, in Scott. The only reason I can see is that there aren't a lot of collectors of souvenir sheets.

Tina, If this helps.
Se-tents means that 2 or more different stamps are attached to one another.
They can have different values, designs, shapes or collectively work together to create a larger image as your DDR with the earth & moon show above.
On your Tread entitled "stamps to Share" you have the US state birds mint sheet that is an example of 50 se-tent stamps.

Hope that helps some!

The Michael Jacksons I sent you are Souvenir Sheets and I think that I included the Scott #'s which should help or give you a hint as to how Scott deals with them.
