2025 All Hallows Post

My order came super fast.

I don't know whether I have said this before, but it was theoriginal Dead Letter Office grim reaper issue that made me want Colin's stamps. I then found the Laernu continentals and then I was hooked.

It's going to be a while befoe I have sorted out all the Ghosties and decided how many of each design in each colour there are, but for those who ordered the mixed packet stamps (previous batches too) - have a look at the back of the Werewolf and some of the Halloween stamps.

I think that there are essentially 12 designs making up the Ghosties sheets, so each single colour sheet has one of each.
However, one Ghostie on one sheet is a variant. Just the one for now but will keep looking. The regular stamp for this colour is not present on the mixed sheet.
The mixed sheet has 11 of the designs with one repeated in different colours.

Or do I count the same Ghost image mirrored or positioned diferently as a regular stamp and variants? Will get back to you on this.

I have decided that the best way to catalogue the Ghosties is to base it on 3 basic designs with 3 or 5 alternatives of each in the three colours. Then there is a fourth with all three ghosts, again in the three colours.
On top of this there are non-sheet variants. I know of some but would like to know if anybody has any more. They are designs which do not appear on the regular single colour or mixed colour sheets. Those that I have seen have been fairly obvious. And I suspect there will be 12 in total from a a sheet of mixed variants, with diffeernt colours.
Please post here if you have a variant, or pm me on the Forum. I would like to put a full listing in a future edition of the Cinderella Philatelist. There will be an update to the All Hallows stamps up to 2023 in the October issue.

I think I prefer my method as it relates to the actual designs. However I may be able to combine them

The mixed bags do contain Dead Letter Office (Grim Reaper) stamps from 2025 and some from 2022. The does seem to be a 1 in 16 chance of a variant.

There does seem to be an over abundance of Ghostie variants. Perhaps 12, but more likely 24. Indeed I have seen images of 16 of them. In total its likely there are equal numbers of each colour. Yes one does have that comic appearance.

Really need info on what others have found in order to be able to catalogue them, and have no info on perhaps 8 variants. Selvedge on images helps immensely.
