I think I read there was a "microprinted" diver on the stamp itself?

I will look a little closer

Did not find any other Divers, Just the Secret/hidden Date.
Plus some Gobbledygook in all the blue lines and on the top.

Here is the $10 Blue Whale sheetlet I just snagged at my local post office. WOW it is BIG!! I tried to scan it as sharp as possible to be below 90k for this forum. I also inserted a standard Canadian definitive stamp. The single whale is 5" by a tad under 2" (128mm x 49mm).

Here is the head of the whale. I did not see any divers, but maybe the whale swallowed them.

I went back and found the article (a couple weeks ago in Linn's). I was mistaken about the Diver & Krill -- they're there, but in ultraviolet.

Here's the full story:

I found them !(were they Lost?)
Under the UV lamp.
They are situated about 3/4 of an inch to the left of "CANADA"
The "Krill" are parallel to all the printed lines of them.

Excellent!

I don't know why; I just think that diver is cool.

I like little extra details on stamps or sheets or selvedge.

I think little fishes swimming along side the wahle would be neat. Or in the selvedge.

That was quick! I just got my Uncut press sheet in the mail today. Wasn't expecting it 'till around next Thursday. It's really a beauty. I hadn't seen the stamp before I got my page. It's signed and numbered. Mine is 0571/1000.

If you've got 200$ to spend, I highly recommend it.

I did not buy the press sheet, but will be interested in seeing if any are broken into gutter blocks and pairs. Has it in fact been sold out yet?
