I purchased the complete Face on Mars set a couple of years ago, because of its notoriety. Less than $20 for the whole set, off ebay. I have a few more dribs and drabs from Sierra Leone, but none of those die cut stamps. Regards, Robert |

I'd like to see them Trainwreck, are they scanned? They originally were promoted at $100 for the set. I'll have to Google ebay perhaps. |

I don't have them scanned. I can scan and post tonight. There is a seller on ebay right now with a BIN price of $12.50. The picture shows one souvenir sheet and 4 miniature sheets of 9 stamps each. I'll have to check tonight, but I thought there were two souvenir sheets in the set, along with the four miniature sheets. Regards, Robert |

Never say never Doug. Googled the name (incorrectly spelled) and face on mars, and came up with more listings than I cared to read on the man. Google is funny that way.  |

If you are considering purchasing the Face on Mars set, make sure it includes 4 miniature sheets of 9 stamps, and two souvenir sheets. One souvenir sheet depicts the face, and the other depicts a space station, presumably in orbit around Mars. Here's an editorial from Linn's I kept regarding the Face on Mars set.  Cheers, Robert Edit: Replaced Photobucket hosted image. |

Looks like a good book but 60 pounds? You really need to specialize in Sierra philately for that kind of investment? |
