Ghana... a country with virtually no stamps of any value.

Anyhoo, for certain sets in the 1960s, apparently the stamps were issued in mini-sheets of 12. Scott references them in a footnote below the listing. For example, for the 1967 achievements in space set (Scott #305-307), the footnote reads as follows:


Quote:
Issued in Ghana in sheets of 30. Sheets of 12 with ornamented, inscribed border also exist; these were sold in Ghana in 1968.


Scott provides no value for these sheets. Additionally, Scott does not mention that the sheets were also printed as imperfs.

Do Michel or SG list or price these sheets?

Example of same stamp as perfed and imperfs:

Neither Michel(2011) nor Gibbons(1980) list these sheets for this particular issue, but they do list a similar type of sheet for the 1964 Year of the Quiet Sun set. Gibbons doesn't price them but Michel has them priced mint 120Euro perf/360Euro imperf.

Both catalogues state that the 1964 sheets were not generally available to the public.

The current (2015) Gibbons has the following note before the 1964 Olympic Games set:
'IMPERFORATE STAMPS. Many issues, including miniature sheets, from here onwards exist imperforate, but these were not sold at post offices.'

Gibbons does list the Peaceful Use of Outer Space set as a miniature sheet, imperf, as MS482 at £1.75 mint and £4.75 used. It also lists a number of other imperf miniature sheets from around that time.

That likely refers to the souvenir sheet containing the 3 different stamps, rather than the sheets of 12.

Is there any way you could scan and post just the portion of the page containing that? That seems like an insanely high catalog value for anything Ghana. :)

Thanks!

SG MS482 is described as '140x90 mm. Nos. 479/81. Imperf.' I'll leave it to you to do the measurements.
