Can anyone offer a SG cat for this SS issue please? Apparently a lot of these were issued during the presidency of Roosevelt, due to his interest and direct influence in philately at that time.  |

Of course you want SG, but I can tell you it is Scott 797, not that you needed to know.  |

You have scott open on your desk at US I gather  Sorry, no help, I have (UK vernacular - Minisheets) in my Gibbons, but not US. Grrr At the National Parks there is a gap in numbers 748-771 so I guess I could guess it would be SG758 or near to it. |

rod,
These series of issues are not cinderella's. They could actually be used for postage. I only mention this because you posted in the cinderella forum. BTW, this is one of my favortie series. |

You are very observant, StamperDude. I did not notice that! AND the Parks are one of MY favourite U.S. series of all time. |

Thanks very much Ryan.
Warrehouse why "Farleys Folly"?
I had read that under the patronage of Mr. Roosevelt, a lot of these types
of issues were printed for collectors.

I don't think that the SPA sheet falls under the category of Farley's follies. |

The Postmaster General at the time was James Farley. When the public found out that he had given President FDR imperforated stamps and created a very rare variety they demanded more t obe printed & released to the general public. |

Thanks Stamperdude / Allen,
I really like the designs of this set,
would have looked magnificent if they were bi-coloured.
The single colour makes them look a little flat.
