I had noticed these stamps for sale on ebay, they're just the sort of cinderellas in which I'm interested, but had previously only seen them as odd singles or sheets of 12. I wasn't aware of the different types of paper used and this makes them even more interesting. I've just managed to purchase a set. Thanks Steve.
