They are not just corners.
We have a sheet with PC in the top corners and HW in the bottom corners.

My personalised Penny Jack sheet, which was much admired by Joolz at Stampex (as a treat I let him look at the sheet but he wasn't allowed to touch it  ), also contained an inverted stamp. Corner initials DE.
I also have, imperforate, DW, BP, CE, and AN mint plus KR and ZA used.

You may have set yourself an impossible task Steve.
Remember that anyone can order a sheet (or more) anytime - with their initials or anyone else's - so your wants list may be growing all the time...
But I know you can't resist a challenge!

Every initialled stampsheet will be torn up for bonus bags at some point. Not every Isle of Vue bag had one this time around, but plenty have been sent out in the past.
I haven't done any Jacks yet for all our overseas collectors as I have assumed they would be less attached to the original Penny design.
If anyone who had a free sheet this time around wants to buy more for their own use or to split up and distribute then let me know.

Hi Bruce
The Penny Jacks are personalised so as long as you do not mind hanging on a little while I produce your initials, print and perf, then no problem.
Let me know if BR is OK for you.
All best

If anyone else would like a sheet of Penny Jacks please let me know as it is far quicker for me to do a batch all at once and it helps keep the price down.
Bear in mind that I will have extra copies of every sheet produced so examples of 'your' initials stamp will be in general public circulation.
And I promise this year (unforeseen fire, flood and illness permitting) they will not take as long to do as the last batch did!
Just to remind everyone, cost of each sheet of 12 is £5, plus postage. If anyone who received a free sheet with the Valentines would like any extra sheets please shout. ------------- My Etsy shop - FarFetchedPhilately - Check regularly for updates and special offers... https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/FarFetchedPhilately . |

The list of Penny Jack top corner letters is Imperforates: AB, AN, BD, BP, CE, CF, CH, CM, CP, DH, DP, DR, DW, EC, EW, FG, GA, GB, HB, HD, HN, IT, JA, JF, JY, KJ, KL, KM, KR, LE, LL, MC, ML, NC, PE, PG, RB, RK, RW, SC, SD, SE, SH, SK, SR, ST, SX, TA, TM, TP, TS, UK, WM, ZA Perforated: AN, BP, BP, CE, CH, DE, DL, HD, IM, JD, JF, JT, KB, LJ, MB, MW, MU, NS, PY, SS, ST, VW, WB All have GB for lower letters with the exception of MU which has BA in the lower corners Some perforated sheets have an complete inverted stamp on the middle column second row. There are mirrored stamps and there are others where just the VR head is inverted. Paler variants exist too. There may be more subtle variants out there, so it may be worth checking. It strikes me these could provide at least two games. One is to come up with amusing ideas for whose initials are represented on the stamps. Or they could be shared out among 3 or 4 players and played in turn like a game of dominos. ------------- https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Discworld-Stamp-Collector/809424215750892" rel="nofollow - The Discworld Stamp Collector on FaceBook Have a look! |

Per http://www.cinderellastampsforum.com/penny-jacks_topic284_post2949.html#2949 - my post above (second on the thread), there are also examples of DH and JF imperforate from the original release at the time of the Penny Blank issue. [Edit] ... which I see have now been added but this forum's software interestingly doesn't mark posts that have been edited.
And BP is included twice in the perfed list. (I know he's an important chap and arguably has the bulk of two men but mayhap this is once too many.)

Are these still available ? No posts for three months almost so I guess not.
Anyway, I'm interested if they are.

Try PM-ing Colin, last time he waited until he could make up batches of different people's initials together on one large sheet, so perhaps if more than person PM-d it might have greater effect ------------- If I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself. |

The Penny Jacks were produced back in 2009 but due to a series of misadventures tit was not possible to put them into production until last year - BUT I will custom-make them to order as Marj has pointed out. If anyone is interested just PM me and when I have a large enough number to put into print I will let you all know cost and delivery details.
If you can't wait and your initials are already printed I might have a spare sheet you could have - but I'd need to know your initials first!
Thanks for your interest!

My initials are MH but it's not that important....I am after the Flag ! I would like both perf and Imperf.
If you have any singles or blocks lying around, they will suffice.
Thanks for the quick reply.
