I was just going to say no to this stamp issue.

But...went to the online store and ended up buying 2 sheets of 16, International S/S, booklet of stamps and the uncut press sheet.

Well, I do love ships.

Apparently I was told by a CP rep that some press sheets have this angle on them.It is the first time I have ever had one like this.If you go to the CP website and look at the Empress press sheet where it shows it under UV light you can see the angle.It is a bit hard to see but if you use a magnifying glass you should be able to make it out.Also if you and look at the Haunted Canada press sheet it has the same angle on it.Upper left corner.

I was just on CP website and cannot find the uncut sheet on the designated page.

Are these sold out? I am looking in the wrong place?

xyyz...If you are lucky enough to find any left (cause they only printed 5000), use an UV light on it and see all the names of the people who lost their lives that day.

Wert, CP let me do an order online. I have to assume that the sheet is still available right now. Previously when I tried to order items that were N/A it would not take my order (some of the items did show availability until I tried to check out).
I will update once I receive my order, fingers crossed.

As promised earlier, here are a couple picture showing the 2 different overprints on the special souvenir package of the Impress of Ireland stamp.. I also include a closeup of the top one. Next is be the scan of the 2.50 with special overprint.
All overprints are showing 1st day of issue.

My uncut sheet arrived to my home in Texas today. Nice gold tube that came in a large CP shipping box.

Was not sure I would get it until it came to the door. Nice to have one of 5000.

Now I need to decide if I open the tube and look at the sheet.

Look in the end of the tube. Safer that way.
