The curiosity of this sheet, in 2007 started my journey...........
Sc# 1757 1978
Hi Rodney:
Scott 1757 - Issued by the US post office for Capex 1978 in
Toronto. They had a US post office there so you could mail
items bearing US postage at the show. I was there.
The "souvenir sheets" of 8 stamps were sold in panes of six.
In turn, I believe that these panes were printed in press sheets
of four panes (i.e. 24 souvenir sheets) but you couldn't buy a
full uncut press sheet . 8*(
Your souvenir sheet is from the upper left corner of the upper
left pane. (souvenir sheet 1 , pane 1) (i.e. first souvenir sheet
on the press sheet). This is shown by the position of the plate
number. Here is a scan of pane 4 (lower right corner of the
press sheet). cjoint.com/data/fCpIJ8SJtW.htm
I last saw the mint souvenir sheets being offered by a dealer
at about $3.10 US ($3.50 Canadian).
Best Regards
Blair
