A question about the Ukraine support maxicards my global team and I produced in the first edition of Stamp Out War (or see this discussion thread) project. How many Canadian varieties of the Ukraine support maxicards can I release without ' saturating' the market? There are two Canadian varieties: the first realised in Myrnam, Alberta , whose name means 'peace to us' in Ukrainian; the second realised in Vegreville, Alberta, whose pictorial cancel incorporates the gigantic sculpture of Ukrainian Easter egg that this town is famous of. There were 10 Myrnam varieties and 11 Vegreville varieties being produced. 4 of each of them were given to fundraiser supporters, so right now I have 6 Myrnam varieties and 7 Vegreville varieties at hand, making the total number of Canadian varieties 13. This is the largest number for any participating country (the smallest is 2). I find it a big number. Will it affect the price of each card potential collectors learn that this variety is not so rare (compared with those maxicards realised in other countries)? Alternatively, I am also thinking of researving a few Canadian varieties for the next fundraiser campaign, which will be held after the auction finishes. So people who miss the auction can still have the chance to claim a copy. The question is how many cards should I researve? ____________________ For more information about this project, please visit: deldal9.wixsite.com/stampoutwar

To be clear: Since each cancellation was applied by hand, each piece of maxicard is de facto unique (some cancels read more clearly than others). I guess I am more talking about them as groups.
