GB Football Prestige Booklet Sg Dx7 Printer

I have conflicting sources stating that the booklet was printed by Cartor Litho and others DLR Gravure. It has different panes of stamps.

Is it possible some panes were printed by different printers?

I suppose you refer to the 2013 Football Heroes Prestige Book, DY7.

All stamps and booklets for this issue were printed by ISP. The gummed stamps, miniature sheet and prestige booklet were printed by its Cartor unit. The self-adhesive booklets were printed by its Walsall unit. I have never come across a reference to De La Rue.

Thanks. When I said DLR, I meant Walsall. I figured it was something like that.

The Concise does not mention printer or process under DY7 but I checked the booklets (U3070a has W158) and see it is Cartor Litho.

By coincidence, I received my example of the self-adhesive booklet this afternoon. The cylinder numbers at the right of the booklet starting with W identify Walsall as the printer of the booklet. Also, the FSC certificate number identifies Walsall as the printer. Cartor has another FSC-C-number. Cartor is the lithography printer within ISP and Walsall the gravure printer.

Was the booklet you show from the prestige booklet or were they sold separately?

It is booklet PM41 (Stanley Gibbons Concise 2020). It is a so-called retail or barcode booklet with self-adhesive stamps. It was sold separately. It is not part of the Football Heroes prestige stamp book (SG DY7).

Both booklets contain 2013 "Football Heroes" stamps. This booklet is the source for the self-adhesive stamps. This type of booklets with four Machin stamps and two special stamps is the source for Machin stamps with the security code "MCIL."

The number of sources for GB stamps is mind boggling.
