Interestingly, this is the only 39¢ United Nations personalized stamp sheet. The stamps could be used to pay the United States domestic first class letter rate. The sheet was issued on 6 March 2006, to comply with the increase in postal rates of the United States first class letter on 8 January 2006. This rate period lasted until 13 May 2007, afterward the first class letter rate increased to 41 cents.
Once again we know nothing about the number of sheets printed, the number of sheets sold, or the printer. The stamps themselves remain in the 30mm x 30mm size with 13.2 perforations. The 20 stamps repeat four times each, so their are five different designs, which are designated Scott #898-902. If anyone can add any additional information, it would be sincerely appreciated by all UN personalized sheet collectors.
