Only 1,000 of them were available. Source: Linn's Stamp News on-line.

I suppose that they weren't bought by some uninformed collectors, who
will never recover their money, but by some kind of investors who know
what they're doing.

I sure they are pretty in a way, but their size makes them really
awkward to properly store or display without damage.


Yet another example of the USPS return to 'special favour' production
for $$$!

The mentioned uncut press sheet was available on the USPS Web store to
anyone, and it was announced in advance. Other four, different types were
still available yesterday, when I checked.

BTW, I see no reasons why USPS should not do things for $$$, especially now
when they have such big problems.
