It must have taken you ages to research and write all this stuff from so many different sources, Steve.

Saves Alan, Hilary and I writing a book I suppose...  Thumbs Up

I am amid posting a little flurry of snippets about printing faults and variations on The Discworld Stamp Collector, both ancient and modern. Here's an example - The Jaundiced Patrician.

Well you know how modest Hilary is - always likes to give credit elsewhere to take attention from herself. Confused

I have just posted a topic on the Discworld Stamp Collector website all about the 2004 10p Morporkia Green. Would you believe I have found 13 versions of this stamp for completists to hunt down?

I believe that the arch-completist may have already hunted them!

There are a couple of otherwise undocumented items in there, so perhaps not.

It's a great article Steve, your online archive is shaping up to be the 'go-to' site for serious Discworld collectors but its plain-English and logical approach also makes it an excellent resource for beginners.

The research on the other Discworld stamps featured on your website is also consistently well-argued, asking questions and leaving gaps where you do not have definitive information and inviting others to provide the information required to later create the complete picture. 

Hopefully some of the members here (or elsewhere) will be able to provide the missing pieces.

Thank you for that endorsement Colin.

When the 10p Morporkia Green aticle was added, the sharp eyed reader would have noticed that there were some updates to the Offler stamps and the YotTR Patrician Sports (as well as typo corrections elesewhere). I hope to be able to add more to all articles and expand over time.
