Keep at it Stanley, only another 44 posts to go. Start a post on what you collect, ask questions, lots to learn. Talk about your collection, and we get to know you a bit.

Up date on my previous offer: all 5 postmarked envelopes available have been mailed. I am now awaiting to see the new ones supposed to be issued on MOnday to see what has caused this recall. This is getting a bit too frequent (Hoodoos, Vimy SS, Villeneuve, now Hanoukkah... I wonder if CanadaPost shouln't improve their processes, and hire a couple of experts on their stamp review committee. May be an opportunity for a few flyspeckers (i.e. WERT) to put their skills to good use...

According to the Canada Post news release, the 'new' Hanukkah stamps will be available for ordering on-line on November 20 but not available in outlets until later in the week.

We won't know for about another week what the new booklet will look like.

And still no explanation as to why. I am 100% sure that there will be a wording change in the booklet, not affecting the stamps in anyway. Still, it will be also interesting to see if the stamps make their way through the post with a good cancellation.

So far, there has been no explanation provided for why it was recalled. There are many of these booklets already on ebay with some saying it is a spelling error, but what spelling error is it? It is most likely to do with the booklet wording rather than the stamp so that keeping the booklet intact may help to show the difference but also using the stamps on early usages before its re-release may also help to show it is from the first booklet. Keep the first booklet even without stamps to show that it was used and different.

The Hanukkah stamp is back on the Canada Post website.

The official first day cover is still November 14, 2017, so it definitely looks like the stamp itself is no different. They only show one side of the booklet, so still not possible to see what has changed.

I suspect Jogil is on the right track - the error is on the cover.

It's may be something simple like the holes to put them on the display was not punch properly. It will explain the short delay to pu them back

I wish I could decipher your post JPMG

The announcement shows Angela Carter, Entro comunicatoins. The bookelts sold last week make no mention of Mrs Carter, inly list the company (entro communications...could this be the reason for the recall?

You never hold a booklet in your hand ?, they have a hole to hang them on the wall hook
