Wow thanks. That was fast. I've looked for a few hours total for them. I appreciate it.

I still can't find information about them. It's like they are scrubbed from the internet.

I found them.

It says the Labor Stamp wasn't issued and the red stamp 3 million. Do they qualify as rare?

Where exactly are you looking? I don't see that Stampworld says anything about the Labor Stamp not being issued, unless you're inferring that because the site doesn't show the number printed, that means it wasn't issued... which would be the wrong thing to think.
Not rare. An issue of 3m at a time when the total population of the island was around 14.5m makes it a pretty common stamp.

I apologize, I don't want to appear argumentative as I admittedly don't know much about the rarity or value of stamps. While the population of Taiwan in 1969 may have been 14,000,000 and 3 million copies of that stamp would have made it a very common stamp… that was 53 years ago. China has almost 2 billion people in 2023 and they like to collect relics of their past. I don't know how many people living in Taiwan would have saved stamps that said Republic of China for 53 years. It's appears that the answer is not very many as I can't find any for sale. I can't find may examples and no examples of an actual stamp. I'm the only one that has one for sale on EBay.

That link I posted upthread no longer works for some reason but it stated that the stamp printed on 06-15-1969 as commemorative #127 wasn't issued. It stated the social living stamp had 3 million prints. I'm not an expert, I was just relaying what was copied from that link.

I know it's not your job to prove me wrong and I'm not asking you to but I just can't believe that this stamp wouldn't be considered rare especially when I'm the only one selling it.

Three million of anything is a lot. You might find quite a few in China but not on English Ebay. It is also about supply and demand and sellers not bothering to list low catalog value stamps.

Here is the complete MNH set on Delcampe with an asking price of 1.2 Euros.

You guys are awesome. I'm going to be sticking around as there are stamps for everything and anyone and this has been the friendliest and most informative forum (all topics included) I've ever visited.

I appreciate your link as it does show the social living stamp is not very expensive. I will continue to look for the blue labor union stamp on foreign sites. Im probably just not looking in the correct places, as you suggest.

Thank you.

Thank you. Yup, looks like there must be no demand for it. Thanks for the link. I will probably buy the stamp. I appreciate your time.
