Now, to find a companion cover will be a challenge.

Can everyone Keep an eye out for the above logo on an illustrated cover, from the 1970's or there abouts. I would LOVE to find one of those if they exist.

cheers,
Skippy

This booklet pane from Serbia 2011, commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Belgrade Zoo.

Charity label or cinderella maybe ??
The logo with the 'hand of god' has me doubt that it is an official Serbian govt postage stamp :?

Spotted in the for sale section. (in a large lot, sold now)
I think we have seen one of these before, but this was such a nice clean copy I thought I'd save the pic to here.

Finally released on 24 April 2012, here's the intaglio version of last year's Colonial Heritage mini. sheet. As mentioned in Stamp Bulletin 316, the intaglio part of the printing was done in the USA by BurdgeCooper New World Printing. Reckon they did a great job.

As a West Australian, I actually like the black swan. Reminds me very much of WA's first stamp.

Now who is going to use one on cover- nobody in their right mind. The whacking premium added to the sheet by Australia Post is amazing. I think the 2 packs I got were $23.00+ for $12.00 worth of stamps ( came as a set- 1 pack-2x$2 stamps and mini-sheet ($4) and the other the intaglio ($4). The first pack being issued some time ago.

If as Chris said, they were released on 24/4/2012, I must have had a pre-release copy as I showed them at our GOMC meeting on 21-4-2012. I should have raced down to the PO in Katoomba and got it postmarked. What a furure it would have caused..........

Yes Waroff,
after seeing yours I raced online and they weren't showing up on the auspost website then :(
From memory the Intaglio is around $15, so it would be silly to put one on cover (I only want the roo)
Oh but what a lovely cover it would make :D

Yours isn't imperf is it ?

I wonder if there will be minisheets overprinted for 2013 Roo anniversary show too?

If the imperforate sheet turned up on sale in a post office on 21 April, then I'll adjust the issue date.

If anybody knows of an earlier date please let me know.

I found these 3 kangaroo covers in a box of Australian covers I recently bought. I did not look through the 8 pages of this thread to see if they've been illustrated already.

The inside reads: "Happy Birthday... to the guy my parents warned me about!"

The mini-sheet above, with Gold logo overprinted (top left corner), is a limited edition available only from Australia2013 website.

There is also a standard "Call to Australia 2013" mini-sheet,
released for the World Stamp Championships and show in Indonesia 2012, avalable from Auspost website http://shop.auspost.com.au/stamps/souve ... ku/6707251

These would be great to use on international mail. :D

Here is the Intaglio Emerging Identity mini sheet, overprinted in gold with Australia2013 logo and Indonesia 2012 exhibition logo.


Image
This is my copy and it looks much better in real life than my scan shows.
My favourite philatelic Item at the moment ! :D

Individually numbered (/250) it is one of the souvenirs for the Australia 2013 FIP World Stamp Exhibition, available on their website http://www.australia2013.com/

Empire and Visualising Australia mini sheets are also available with gold overprint from Aus2013 website.

Close up , scanner didn't pick up the gold but what a great design the Kangaroo stamp is !
Intaglio printing is black raised ink compared to the dark blue on the normal stamps.

Image

I didn't see the year in the design until I enlarged the scan.
It's a pity they didn't change the 2011 (bottom middle of stamp) to 2012, as stampchris said in the posts above, the intaglio version was released in April 2012.
