Overprint 100th Grey Cup Stamps

Blackjag don't read because it'll only upset you

For the 100th Grey Cup Final Toronto Argonauts vs. Calgary Stampeders there will be a special overprint issue

Ohhh maybe they'll overprint with a gingerbread cookie! Toronto is close but Calgary wil appreciate it more so Go Stampeders

I don't know what happened to the BC Lions...

Samething happened to the Alouettes: They both lost :-(

Sorry, not in to football.

But I am suffering from the NHL lock-out though.

LOL - Thanks !

Actually - that's probably the only part of this issue I'll be interested in.

Where did you see this? Its not on CP's web page that I can see.

I saw it on Canada Post's Facebook page.

So how many items in total for the CFL issue??? I'm guessing 299, joking, I have no idea but it is way to many. There must be a uncut press sheets in the works to complete the issue. Now I have to join Facebook to keep up to date with Canada Post.

I decided to limit my inventory to start-up , gutter and end srips of 4, from each team and use all the rest of coils on mail. Unfortunately, it will take me 15 yrs to use up all the surplus stamps at current rate of mail I send.....

There will only be 30,000 of these overprint booklets. With 10 stamps per booklet that means there will only be 300,000 of these in existence...truly rare if you ask me.

Here's the actual write-up on the 680NEWS website.

Does this mean that the 30,000 will only be available somewhere in Toronto if T.O. wins?

There will be a little extra bragging rights for the winner of the Grey Cup is crowned in the big game this weekend.

The victors will be honoured with a new stamp from Canada Post and John Caines from Canada Post tells 660News, there won't be many of them but we'll get first crack.

"It will be a limited edition with only 30,000 booklets of these and they will only be available in Calgary should the Stampeders win," says Caines.

The CFL and Canada Post have come together to develop a total of 17 stamps and collectible products in recognition of the 100th Grey Cup game.

For the ones who want only the stamp Canada Post says this :
"This very limited edition overprinted issue will be available beginning November 28, online, by mail order and at select post offices in the winning team's town.

Article #: 413866111
Also available in the January to March 2013 Collector Packs. Not included in the 2012 edition of Collection Canada."

Toronto won the Grey Cup ... and their stamp is now available (very shortly after the end of the game) on the Canada Post website (darn, I was pulling for Calgary!).

No need to go to a post office. You can get them online right now at http://www.canadapost.ca/shop/cfl/1...13866111.jsf

I called CP this moring and ordered 3 booklets.
