S16 - Internationalen Briefmarken-Messe (R!) Update

Thanks to our European correspondent, we now believe that 20,000 sheets were printed - not 2,000. This means that each design would be available in a quantity of 40,000 - but remember, many of these sheets will never be broken up. We also know that an initial shipment of 5,000 sheets was sent to UNPA Vienna for the Essen 2007 stamp show.

While we now believe that there are ten times as many stamps as originally thought, this is still a very small printing for all United Nations philatelists. I urge all collectors that might still need this sheet to purchase one as soon as possible.
