I had to clean up the 2013 supplement to add missing stamps and add MICHEL catalog numbers! Here's a page to stare at:  You can download the file from here: stamphacks.com/wp/?p=957“The MICHEL numbering system is used by kind permission of the publishers Schwaneberger Verlages, Unterschleißheim. Schwaneberger Verlages, Unterschleißheim expressly reserves all rights under copyright and comptetion law and all other rights whatsoever of reproduction, distribution and publication.”

The rework begins! With the ability to use MICHEL catalog numbers, I decided to redo older supplements and add catalog numbers. Well, I figured, if I am going to redo a bunch of old work, I'm going to do it right. So, I made some changes that I think will still blend in with older pages, so everyone is not forced to remount all their stamps. The changes are: 1. The stamps on the page are now in date of issue order (to the best of my ability) 2. Catalog numbers are under the stamp box 3. Date of issue is over the stamp box The typical stamp looks like this on the page:  A full page looks like this:  Redoing all the pages is taking time. I had 1992-1997 done and decided to release them before things get too hectic around the holidays. 7zip archives of the PDFs and Scribus files can be found on my stamp blog: stamphacks.com/wp/?p=971 |

And the 2014 Supplement is FINALLY done! Screenshot:  Some notes: - The 2014 Europa booklet is a mess. The only way to really mount it is to tear out the two pages and mount them. There is an explanation in the PDF
- This supplement includes PDFs with stamp images, "inksaver" PDFs without stamp images, and "inksaver" pdfs with no MICHEL catalog numbers.
- There were quite a number of microprint varieties of the 8th definitive series. A lot of them have not been assigned MICHEL catalog numbers. I spent some time and figured out what the catalog numbers are going to be, based on MICHEL's numbering policy.
- Special thanks to UPNS member Mark Stelmacovich for providing me scans of the 8th definitive series, so I could see the release date in the selvage.
- Ukraine released a self-adhesive definitive this year. It was sold in a sheet that looks like it was designed for vending machines. My plan is to mount the stamp individually, and I designed the sheets that way. If you want to mount the whole sheet, please leave a comment or email me and I'll whip up a page for the whole booklet.
The original post with the pages is here: stamphacks.com/wp/?p=1061But then I realized that I screwed up all the headers on the A4 pages. So the updated files can be found here: stamphacks.com/wp/?p=1065 |

Regarding those 1918 Ukrainian stamps, you say they were released "imperforate on thin paper". Do you have hints on how to tell forgeries from genuine? The Scott catalogue simply says the genuine are on "thin paper" and the forgeries on "very thin, glossy paper". I have a bunch that look almost like glassine paper - I assume that's the very thin glossy paper that Scott is talking about, and the genuine stamps are on something that looks more like normal paper, but that's just a guess ...

From what I read, the paper is pretty thin. The paper that I have my stamps on is pretty thin, and matte. The paper isn't glassine transparent, but it is pretty thin. The pin-perforated stamps are inperfs that were pin perforated by hand. They were sold as imperfs. And the perforated currency stamps were found on cover used as postage. There's a great article in the Ukrainian Weekly, January 2002 on these stamps. PDF is here: www.ukrweekly.com/archive/2002/The_Ukrainian_Weekly_2002-01.pdfArticle is on page 4. An HTML page of the article without images can be found here: www.ukrweekly.com/old/archive/2002/010209.shtmlI scanned my page. Here's what I have:  |

Excellent, that confirms what I had wondered about my stamps. The article describes just what I have, paper that looks almost like glassine paper. Ryan |

But please include the MICHEL cover page when you mail the stamps. I need a 1, 5, and 200. Do you have those by any chance? |
