Love it all and I checked out the wiki page for SWALK and it even includes a mention of our beloved flataly stamps (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War ... l_acronyms)

Perhaps you should make a mention that the Halfpenny AMPO definitive sport reflects the building as originally drawn for the stamp.
Back in the days when the designs were essentially rough trials the AMPO building only had fewer upper floors and was drawnthat way. But TP was still writing Going Postal' when he came to Moist's freaky nights soon after he started there the narrative demanded the building have an extra flooer, so the stamp design had to change.

Regarding the accidental release of lower resolution trial prints of the Thieves Guild stamp the expression 'accidental sport' is inappropriate. A sport is a deliberate design difference includes by the designer. There have been accidental sports where more than one sport has been trialled on a printed sheet for one to be selected. Then a rejected sport has not been removed when the stamp has 'gone to press'. A recent example could be the Halfpenny AMPO where a missing line in the brickwork was discovered to be still there after release. These Thieves stamps are best described as released in error.

The early design of the $1 Clacks Mail stamp is not missing its price.
