2008 Personalized Sheet Schedule

Now that the UNPA web site is back up, after being down all weekend, I got a chance to review the envisioned 2008 UN personalized stamp sheet schedule. Thankfully, there are no new generic sheets on the horizon - as long as postage rates remain stable. Also, the schedule has being changing frequently, so the schedule and emissions are subject to change.

Here is what UNPA has planned in 2008:
  1. 8 May 2008 - Another personalized sheet for Essen. Presumably, this will once again be Euro denominated.
  2. 8 May 2008 - A special personalized sheet for the World Stamp Championship Exhibition in Israel.
  3. 6 June 2008 - A special personalized sheet for ROMEX in Bukarest.
  4. 8 August 2008 - A Beijing personalized stamp sheet - probably around the theme of Sport for Peace. This will coincide with the XXIX Olympiad.
So next summer looks like the busy time for United Nations personalized sheets.

On another note, I just returned from last weekend's SACAPEX in Sacramento, California. I met with the UNPA representatives there, and was able to purchase the World Space Week personalized sheet. Unfortunately, they had not received any Climate Change sheets, but hoped to have them by PENPEX in early December. Both of these sheets are now available on the UNPA web site.
