UPDATE: This is kind of embarrassing, there were actually four color strips shipped, not just the two earlier shown. So rather than welcome a new member and get credit for the 50th post, I wanted to make the 50th post a bit more "special". Here's a two set Sculpture set from 1978, YT 484-85, that I have become completely enamored with, so of course, I started with one of the color essays: I have the other set of color proof essays currently being shipped, and I'll update this as soon as those get in. I don't even have the regular postal stamps for this issue yet

Can't just have one, here's the Ambete statuette (Mi 604) in yellow/brown/grey: I find this one quite striking, with the "motion blur" of the bleed here, just really pops on close-up inspection. I still do not have the regular issue here for either of these...
