Sheet Numbering

If you have a copy, take a look at the 25 February 2008 issue of Linn's. On page 26 is an ad from WorldStamps.com - Frank Geiger Philatelist, that uses the UNPI numbering for personalized United Nations sheets! I have purchased UN stamps from Frank in the past and have always been very satisfied. His unique methods of packaging, make it fun to open up the envelope! I am happy to see the numbering system continues to be adopted by both dealers and collectors.

I also have a "head's up" for everyone. On 12 May 2008, the United States will be increasing is domestic and postal rate from 41 cents to 42 cents. Although I don't know the new international rate, we can probably expect that to rise along with the domestic rate. So, on 12 May 2008 we can probably expect new generic sheets from UNPA and the withdrawal of S17 and S18. If you don't have your set yet, be sure to order it soon.
