Topic: Sportens 2013 - 2017 Posted: 18 February 2018 at 08:39 |
I have been sorting through the images and examples of the yet to be released third issue of the Laernu Sportens (no pressure intended Colin). My aim was to see what to expect. It seems that there will be 5 new values, including 2 larger format high values. Some seem have more than one illustration of the sport; too different to be considered the variant stamps. I haven't looked for these yet. However, there seems to be some of the print errors floating around.
Here are the stamps identified so far. I have shown them monochrome, because there are stamps with different colours and no indication which is the most preferred; and it may be that colours may change between these early prints and a full release. The sports and values are 2F 2015 Slippenpollen 7F 2013 Hissenob??zen 9F 2014 Wobblyclucken 1D 2016 Pescaclubbatallen 2D 2017 Strekken-de-sossen |

Thanks for the images, Steve. I really hope that Colin is able to find the time to release these this year.
Some suggestions on the sport names as they seem to read to me: 7F Hissendantzen
9F Wubblyclucken 1D Pescaclubenbatallen 2D Strekken-de-sossej (!) |

Yes those sport names now make sense. The deformation of some letters to read vertically and fit the space makes them hard to read. All part of the fun though.
There is one Wubblyclucken image missing I have realised. Hopefully I can compile a full(ish) listing and images soon. It will be interesting to see how the proper issue turns out. These are prototypes. The 2007-2013 Sportens had slightly or radically revised colours between prototypes and release with some central image revisions too |

I look forward to that. I am usually the last one to hear about such things.
