I loved these sheets when they first came out. I was a big Habs fan as a kid so it was a thrill to see Henri Richard, Steve Robinson, Guy Lafleur and Serge Savard on stamps. At that time, it was still frowned upon to honour living people on Canadian stamps, so Canada Post made a big deal about how the stamps honoured "NHL all stars" and the players were featured and named on labels beside the actual postage stamp. It wasn't more than a year or two until that 'rule' got thrown out and all manner of living pop stars and sports stars got onto stamps. Does anyone have a label from the first sheet used on cover, in place of a stamp? I heard that lots of them were used as postage stamps, which is why the labels aren't fully perforated in subsequent years.

That's cool renden . Is there information on the back for each player? No info, just glue and none in Unitrade. Names of players on the stamps. René

renden , I didn't know what Unitrade was until now. Thanks for the info. Steve If you are into Canada, it is our Canada Specialized catalog and it covers also our Provinces (New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia) + Newfoundland 1857 to 1947 as Newfoundland joined Canada April 1, 1949. All CVs are in $C. It has lots of nice stuff not found in Scott. I have the 2024 version and we hope Unitrade Press will publish next year !!

René,
I managed to pick most of these up at 30% off face value from a dealer at Orapex here in Ottawa a few months ago. Been looking for ages and very happy to get a deal.
