Definitive Plate blocks needed

It has been 18 months since I blogged about the plate blocks I was missing. Since then, I have had a fair amount of success in filling in my want list. I am down to 84 dates (from 237). Of course, some of the remaining ones are the most expensive of all, but most are reasonably priced in the catalogs, but I have just not been able to find them.

  1. Provisionals-3 needed of 42. I am missing PR16, 24, and 26.
  2. Zodiac - COMPLETE!
  3. Town Emblems - 2 needed of 161. Just missing TE35 and TE125.
  4. Landscapes - 4 needed of 169. Missing LS6, 7, 27, and 113a.

Another new generic sheet

I have recently seen this on E-bay. This is a July 18th, 2011 printing date of the Happy Holidays stamp. It is being issued for the high holidays. I have not yet seen a day of issue for this.
