The next United Nations personalized stamp sheet is the first Euro-denominated sheet issued, issued for the Essen 2007 stamp show. The sheet was made available on 3 May 2007 and quickly went off sale on 23 May 2007. Only 2,000 sheets were reported to have been issued. Once again, the five 0.55 Euro stamps of each design (x2), must be considered very scarce. Only 4,000 of each of the stamps are available to United Nations philately. To form a complete collection of United Nations stamps, many of these sheets will be broken into two stamp sets, and the price will continue to rise as United Nations collectors realize how scarce these sets are. The stamps have been given their own Scott numbers (Vienna 393-397) and their own Michel numbers (Vienna 497-501).
In general the stamps conform to the standard 30mm x 30mm format with 13.2 perforations. Currently, we do not know the designer of the sheet or printer. Once again, that information is needed from other collectors, since UNPA has not been helpful.
