Pope John Paul II Stamp Sheet

Can someone tell me the value? I can't find it anywhere online. From guinea.

These things are often not catalogued, as they have no genuine postal use in the country of origin.

So how does one find out whats of value then? Are they as worthless as most of the rest of my collection?

And no genuine postal use? The back says offfical legal tender recognized by every country around the world.

I have a couple of these somewhere - not from Guinea. I suppose that the first question is why one would bother going to the trouble of providing a "certificate of authenticity" if the issue was kosher? Even within that, what do the last few words of the first setence refer to, the postage stamp or Guinea? I'd guess the second, whilst trying to give the reader the impression that it's the first.

This article will tell you pretty much what you need to know...

It is not uncommon that some of these 'stamps' have never been within a thousand miles of the 'issuing' country. Considered as 'manufactured collectible' by many, they usually have little value. If you can find any used on an actual used piece of mail, they can carry some value.

Do they have a date on the Miniature sheet?
I'll have a look around for you.

The value is what you paid for the item, or the enjoyment you get from collecting it.
Guinea Stamps are beautiful.
