More on the World Space Week Sheet, 2008 Sheets, and Naposta 2005 Sheet

At the 4 November Stockerau bourse, UNPA had some Space Week sheets and sold them just on special request - they had to be asked for - none were on display. UNPA also sold a very restricted quantity the following weekend in Paris - then UNPA declared the Space Week "sold out" as they had many more orders than sheets available, and N.Y. wants all sheets sent back in order to deliver their standing orders.

We also learned that the Essen 2008 & ROMEX 2008 will be denominated in € and UNPA intends to do both with five different stamp designs.

On the subject of released designs, but never issued sheets: the original Space Week 2007 was denominated in U.S. dollars and with N.Y. generic designs. This original design was announced and pictured on UNPA's website together with the regular space issues in the forthcoming issue section, and was still shown online until the beginning of November.

The NAPOSTA 2005 sheet was officially announced and pictured in Faszination 3/2005 (with an order number) but never issued. The printing quantity was announced as 3,500 sheets, along with the price € 19,95. It was to contain12 stamps of € 0,55 and 8 stamps of € 1.10.
