S6.2 - Greetings from the United Nations with Vereinte Nationen Error
Thanks to Greg Galletti, we now confirm the latest addition to the United Nations personalized stamp sheets. This variation of S6 has the two normal 80 cent Scott #884 stamps, however, it still has "United Nations" in seven languages, instead of the official six found on the normal sheet. These sheets were sold at Napex in 2005, so if you were there and bought a sheet, you should check your sheets carefully. This sheet differs from the pre-release version of the S6 personalized sheet (see the S6 entry from 27 October 2007) and published on the back page wrapper enclosing the Vol. 29, issue #2 of the UNP Journal, because it has the normal "Greetings from the United Nations" as opposed to "Greeting from the United Nations". Once these errors sheets were noticed at the show, Robert Gray ordered them to be immediately withdrawn. It is estimated that about 10 of these error sheets were sold prior to their ordered withdrawel.
