 Topic: Laernu Sporten variationsPosted: 01 March 2011 at 07:54 |

Yesterday I was putting the extras from my Valentines package into the album with, and I took the oppertunity to go through the stamps i have and comparing them to the listings on AskMeAbout. I came across some variations of the Laernu Sporten stamps which I don't think are listed.
The first is a version of the 2F with two rowers, possibly siameese twins

The second is a variation of the 2F with a bright green horisontal band

And the third is a 11F with the ball kicked, and some green and purple colouring. At first I thought is was part of a frank, but it is actually part of the printed image.

The fourth and last is a Large size gold foil stamp, which is different to the ones listed. It may be a foil version of the "no players variant" -I don't have a regular of that to compare with.
 I'm sure there are many more variations of these out there- it would be fun to see some of the others.

The 11F is on askmeaboutstamps as number 28vc. But the others look new and will cause an update of the catalogue I suspect. Well spotted Anne.

The picture is rubbish. We'll have to re-scan a lot of the early Laernu stamps. Steve and I were begging and borrowing when the pages were first done and I think we can all collaborate on something a lot better.
If only there were more days, with more hours, in a week! Keith |

Here are a few additions to the growing list.
First is kind of the twin to Anne's half-mirrored 1F rowers above. That one is half-mirrored about a vertical axis (so the right half is the same as the right half of the normal stamp and the left half is the mirror image of the right half). This one is half-mirrored about a horizontal axis (so the bottom half is the same as the bottom half of the normal stamp and the top half is the mirror image of the bottom half).
 Second is a version of the 11F footballer sport which has extra dots/splodges of yellow (top left, bottom right and I think a smaller one bottom left) and I think pink (top right) - as people will know who met me on Saturday, my colour perception for some colours is very wayward.
 Third is my example of the Sporten foil stamp, which is the 11F footballer sport.

I am beginning to suspect that each of the 15 copper foil sportens were different. How I wish I had bought them all ;) |
