Good point Gilles. Well the same can be said for the Montreal Canadiens 100th anniversary - my childhood team.

I have not.

Are those sheets shown ones purchased or photos 'borrowed' from Canada Post? It could be just a printers error when the ad copy was made up, not a real stamp sheet.

Winnipeg Jets Keepsake Pane – Primary logo
Price: $24.95
Quantity:1 Winnipeg Jets Keepsake Pane – Secondary logo
Price: $24.95
Quantity:1 Winnipeg Jets Keepsake Pane – 1st Goal
Price: $34.95
Quantity:1 SUBTOTAL: $84.85


In BC with taxes = $95.03 for I am assuming 63 "P" stamps = $41.63 taxes included. Tell me if I have made a calculation error. According to CP's website there are only 10,000 sheets of the "1st goal".

Why are we paying such a high markup and even scarer what is CP going to charge collectors for the 1st penalty or 1st game won. This series could go on for some time.

Are we that desperate to add to our collection no matter what the cost????

One of the Jets stamps is also available in panes of 40, if you are a Commercial or Venture One customer.

This is an image copied from the Canada Post website:



[The other stamps and panes illustrated in this thread were scanned from the original stamps purchased on the day of issue (in answer to a previous question).]

My only problem with the Winnipeg Jets, Diwali and other religious stamps is that Canada Post is selling them for ABOVE face value. That is TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. The Write Me Ring Me issues were different, as they were sold in a package that included greetings cards and phone cards.

I agree 100% .... the premium price should turn collectors off but it doesn't seem to slow sales. I wonder how many are bought by non collectors because of the theme.

As non-collectors can only know of the issuance of these stamps by word-of-mouth, news stories (papers, TV, radio), Canada Post's Details and Collections publications or seeing them in the very few selected postal outlets that were allowed to sell them, I believe that 99% of all sales of these stamps are to gullible hard-core collectors like myself. Buying 3 panes and paying $84.85 for $29.50 face value is disgraceful.
