Scott's lists Paraguay #2137 CV $9 as a strip of 6 mushroom stamps(which I have as singles) and then lists #2138 CV $8 but mentions nothing other than the face value of the stamp as Gs. 5. So is the item below Sc. 2138? Or is it 5 times Sc. 2138? And would you call it a souvenir sheet or a sheetlet or???

I believe it is a minisheet,or so called Boy Scout Stamps issued regularly.

Scott often does not list "Sheetlets", which in my opinion, this is.

Since Scott makes no mention of a mini-sheet in their listing would you understand that their catalog number refers to just one stamp then? Or to the whole mini-sheet? They list the strip of 6 as #2137 but in fine print describe each of the individual stamps and assign them letters a-f. Which I guess is what confuses me regarding what I pictured above. The 4 non-valued corner design 'labels' do not repeat any of the stamps designs from the strip of 6.

John.
Yes, just the singleton stamp design.
When I come across this type of thing (from memory Czechoslovakia has numerous "sheetlets" unlisted)
I afford a "dummy" Scott listing (Say #2138g) and mount the sheetlet on a personal Steiner-like album page, indicating the sheetlet is unlisted in this form.

On review, I am sitting on the fence, as a "sheetlet" as the example has many "tabs" or "labels" perhaps "souvenir sheet" would also qualify....your choice.

Note also Sc#2166 etc 1986

"Askphil" : definitions.

Block: 1: (Ger.) block, souvenir sheet (of stamps); 2: an unseparated group of stamps; if the block is larger than four
stamps, it is referred to as a block of six, block of eight, etc. 3: Michel 2001 catalogue considers blocks (souvenir
sheets/miniature sheets) and sheetlets as items containing one, two or three stamps; four to six stamp are blocks, provided
three of the stamps are different; items with the same four stamps are blocks when said stamp also appears at the same
time in a sheet. 4. (Swed.) miniature sheet.

Souvenir Sheet
Souvenir sheet (SS):
1: sheet of a stamp or stamps, surrounded with a paper margin issued for a specific event or purpose.
2: first U.S. SS is the White Plains pane of 25 stamps for an international stamp exhibition, held Oct. 16-23, 1926.
3:gedenkblock (Ger.); bloc feuillet (Fr.); foglietto (It.); hoja blocque (Sp.).

Thanks rod222. I think that answers some of my confusion.

Just an afterthought.....

Perhaps Souvenir sheets are generally numbered? (as yours)
whereas Sheetlets are not.
