Sometime in the 2000s, Ukraine began to issue limited edition imperf souvenir sheets of of existing souvenir sheets. They're usually only printed in a limited number of stamps, usually around 3,000, sometimes less.
These sheets started out as issues you could buy at national Ukrainian stamp expo. Then they were changed to only being available to people who signed up for their subscription service.
That lasted till 2020.
In 2021, they issued a commemorative booklet that included all the stamps for the year, that includes all the stamps issued that year, and includes this year's imperf sheet.
The 2021 sheet looks like this:
The 2021 Book is already sold out, so the only way to get these is from someone in Ukraine selling them. And I see them pop up on eBay all the time, so I think it's stamp dealers that snatch up these imperfs.
