One of more of these have surely been shown elsewhere, maybe even by me. But I think they merit their own thread so we can see (hopefully) what is available. Questa printed Panes of one 1st class stamp for use on Greetings cards sold by the Pharmacy, Boots in 1994. The stamp was perforated but the pane was rouletted 8 for ease of folding onto the card in Boots outlets. The pane showed their logo in the margin. Later, other retailers of greetings cards joined in the project and a year later another pane, without the logo, was issued. In 1997, a further issue by Enschede with roulette 10 appeared. Any or all of these panes have been overprinted, at first by GB dealer Rushstamps and their popularity grew. Later others joined in with their event overprints. Most overprints are from Philatelic Exhibitions worldwide. More to come..... Below is an example of Rushstamps promoting their own !! 40 years dealing is no mean feat. Londonbus1

Any excuse for an overprint ! However, this one has a poignant feel to it. 'Philatex' was a great bourse/fair with many of the smaller dealers in attendance and some lesser known and unusual sellers. The one advertised here, during the Festival of Stamps, 2010 was the last. And it was also one of the best, as was the venue, my favourite for a philatelic event anywhere. So it's a bit sad to post it if truth were told. R.I.P. Philatex. Londonbus1
