What do mean by 'still available'. Do you mean the originals or the 2010/2011 new designs. I'm up for the new ones.

What are you on Colin? You are fully aware of the diligence of the Sporten Collectors. To offer in such a cavalier manner that which we hold so dear, well I call it very kind of you. All donations gratefully received. 
 
For the record, my 2nd Anniversary Stamps arrived yesterday - Wednesday, thank you. Very nice indeed.
 
On the envelope there were the following Sportens:

I'll put some prices up in the 'Market Place' - I haven't sold these on eBay so perhaps everyone has assumed they were not yet for sale.
 
The stamps are only available as minisheets of 12, each sheet has one variant.
 
Like the previous issues there are also printing error variants that might leak out from time to time - but these will only be stuck to envelopes, not sold.
 
Bear with me while I find my notes and costings and I will post up in Market Place...
 
My Etsy shop - FarFetchedPhilately - new 'stuff' coming soon...

A bedrizzled postie just dropped mine through the door. hurrah!

I will collate all these for an AskMe website update, but it looks like its going to be fun with a capital F. There has been an update on the clours for instance. The Ladyskooten is more orange than yellow now, and stands out much better. And the Batsenbowlen is a deepr purple rather mauve.

Ever keeping us on our toes Colin.
I was just checking that the 2011 Sportens' perforations sent out this week were the same as those that appeared last year (they were), I found that the latest batch seem to be different sizes.
The width is the same but the height differs. The Twangthunken is 31mm high, the Ladyscooten is 30mm and the Batzenbowlen is 29mm. The stamps I have from previous printings of these were all 30mm.

Now where's my UV penlight?

I think I may have to pioneer the concept of 'Artisan perfing' to get around the combination of learning curve and impatience that dominates the few hours I get every week to perforate... Embarrassed
 
No UV on these ones - honest!

Please don't perfect any techniques Colin. Finding these variations is all part of the fun. What else would I do with my time
