Congratulations, you've arrived at the photo!

Stamps not there yet. I emailed them and they redirected my request to Air Canada Customer Service who have not responded as of yet.

Here's the address to the unveiling photo.

I could not find any additional information on release date or how to order.

Page doesn't load for me. It says it can't be found. Any other address??

Can;t link, can't post photo here.
Please follow above directions to the photo.
Thank you for flying Air Canada.
We will be landing shortly.
Please make sure your trays are locked in their upright positions.


Good photo for a stamp!

The www link provided earlier is correct EXCEPT that the spelling for "unveiling" is wrong on the Air Canada end.
The (in)correct link is:

Thanks Topmapman, that one works, copy and pasting link.

Welcome!

Just happened to check again and voila, there they all are now in the eBaoutique at Air Canada site (all 5 stamp sheets of 21 stamps plus a keepsake enlarged photo).

Go to the eBoutique and then to the Merchandise link and then to the 75th Anniversary link.

Oh, goody, they let me upload the photo. Cool looking stamps in the Scott #2064 Photo Album style of framing. Here are the other four stamp sheets available (priced at CAD $25.00 per sheet of 21 stamps and photo plus applicable taxes).

(I like the 777-300 ER (extended Range I bet you with extra fuel tanks))

The date of printing looks to be 06 2011 on the sheets used for the photos anyway (all photos have same date).



Just checked ebay, none there yet under the search terms I used anyway.

I am thinking 09 2011...

Yup, that's it, thanks.

Now that the Air Canada Sheets have arrived, here are scans of the inscriptions, for the record.

Date master sheet was printed, 09 2011.


Printers inscription.


Bar code and customer order number.


Solo stamp in keepsake pane with block tagging. The rest of the stamps have tagging over the die cutting.


Soon the sheets will be sub-divided, I almost hate to do it :(

Great photos Bee See. Thanks.

Cool variant for collectors to look for on that block tagging. Not many of these around I imagine, for any stamp printed on a keepsake sheet format.

Hi
I can;t find these in any of the catalogues.. what is the current value of the sheets? I have the whole set signed by Air Canada CEO..

***Please do not cross-post (Posting one question in multiple threads)***

I have all five since issued some day in July 2012.

The copyright date is 09 2011.

There is a hidden 2004 in yellow in the upper left corner of the stamp.

It is not listed in Unitrade.

Blackjag, do you have any idea if they are still available for purchase. I would love to get the Transcanada DC-3 one to go with my Edmonton 1954 Air Canada crash covers.
