Stamp FAQs and Useful Reference Information

by **Darren** » Tue May 17, 2005 09:58 am

This thread will be used as a store for the various useful reference information on the stamps themselves. If someone posts something deemed useful to know, it may well get plundered and tucked away here for ease of finding. Items will be added as and when they appear, or alternatively you can PM me with such information and I will include it if it is appropriate.

In many cases further and more detailed informations can be found on Kelshandra's website. Where there is a specific page giving more details I will endeavor to include a link to it in the information. Consider it the full reference material (and highly recommended for visiting), with this being a quick reference guide only, and non-exhaustive in content.

Here we class sports as "deliberate" (although in some cases unintentional) mistakes on a stamp, to make it different from the others on a given sheet.

There are three basic catagories of perforations that have been used at various points for the stamps:

Bath perforations - done by Bernard and pTerry using the antique Victorian perforator at the Bath Postal Museum. This gave 12 holes per 2cm.
Wincanton perforations - done unsurprisingly at Wincanton, using the new perforating machine that was purchased to save travelling costs to Bath and other general hassles. This gives 10 holes per 2cm.
Machine perforations - done by the bulk manufacturer (Enschede of Holland), with their mass production comb perforator. This gives 13 holes per 2cm, although this was varied to 13.5 holes per 2cm for the penny black.

One other variation are the rough and smooth perforations. These are generally the Bath perforations, and all relates to beeswax. Initially this little secret was not known to our dear Artificer, so the early perfs look like they were chewed out by a rat. Some clever soul then divulged the information that if the pins were lubricated with beeswax and multiple sheets were done together, the perforations would be smooth. This was done, and lo the perfs were indeed smooth.

Relating to rough and smooth Bath perforations, some further information was given by the lady who knows...

Granny Isobel, in an email on this very subject wrote:There was some variation in the Bath perfs - it depended which end of
the "pins" met the sheet of stamps and since it was reversed half way
through some stamps would be neater one side than the other if you see
what I mean.

I don't think you'll find a big difference, it was more a matter of
degree of nibbling.

Still, it gives us collectors something else to look out for. Not all stamps have been done using each method. For example the $5 triangles and TOAs are all hand-perf'd, be it either at Bath or Wincanton.

There are also a few stamps around which are mis-perforated, with additional perforations through them in various positions. These are again quite rare and collectable in their own right.

How does the Cabbage Trading scheme work? Our intrigued correspondent asked the question of she who knows these things, and was duly informed.

Granny Isobel, in an email to Rabelasian, wrote:"The principle is that collectors can exchange their "common" stamps for something more interesting and unusual.
In exchange for varying numbers of common stamps they will receive Green Cabbage Trading stamps.
These will be supplied with a card to make the collecting easier.
There is a Trading rate list and returns form on the Forum which can be down-loaded.
Alternatively if people email me I can send one in the post.

These green cabbage stamps can be collected, sold, traded or sent back to us where they will be exchanged for something a bit special.
The current exchange item is a Dragon Sanctuary envelope - there are 10 different varieties and 100 of each of these available.
25 green cabbage stamps will secure one of these.

The collecting card has space for 48 cabbage stamps, which together with the two "free" stamps printed on the card make it up to 50 - This makes a full card worth two sanctuary envelopes.
Alternately 24 cabbage stamps plus the freebie can be exchanged for 1 Dragon Sanctuary envelope.

Some people are short circuiting the system and swapping their "common" stamps for the Sanctuary envelopes without going through the green cabbage stamp phase at all. This is fine by us and so long as the right numbers of stamps are returned we can do this. The Freebie cabbage stamp will still apply at the rate of 1 per 24.

Additional trading items will be introduced as the scheme progresses and these will be exchanged for varying numbers of green cabbage stamps.

Hope that's clear as finest high-purity Ankh-water to everyone.

What is the rarity of the uncommon stamps, found occasionally in lucky LBEs, now and in the past? Some information, courtesy of Buckjump and Granny Isobel:

Hogswatch - 2900 produced, including 400 on the FDC. No longer produced.
Thrupn'y Dreadful (Zombie) - 800 in total (1 in 40 LBEs) - updated information from that first given by Isobel, which said 2000.
Dreadful Whitebacks - 40 in total, only 10 released in Hogswatch FDCs.
Ungummed Thrupn'y Resurrections - 1500 in total.
Unperforated Penny Patricians - Given away in the journal #1 to the first 500 subscribers.
Penny Civics (normal) - 5500 in LBEs, plus the 250 unperforated sheets.
Red Nose Patricians - 98 were claimed in the end. No longer produced.
Penny Red - Distributed with journal #1 only. Still available by back-issue order, but supply is limited.
Civic Sports - 100 civic sheets perforated and in LBEs, plus 250 unperforated sheets sold.
Eminence Gris - 125 (according to the Journal #2). However Isobel says they are actually not limited, although will be retired eventually. In 1 in 20 LBEs.
TOA Sports - 1 in 20 LBEs for each type (1 in 10 overall), not limited in number. Recently a new version of each (the falling man and the splash) have come into circulation, although the old version are also available still in LBEs).
$5 Blue Triangles (normal) - 489, (1 in 50 LBEs), plus the one of Doc's that the Post Office "lost", never to be seen again...
$5 Blue Triangles (sport) - 10, so far I believe 4 are known (plus various "copies").
50p Cabbage Green - Not told, but given away with journal #2 and also the GOFAD newsletter. Also appeared on the Waterstones commemorative cover to mark the release of Going Postal.
Skunk Cabbages - 20 in total, sold out almost immediately from the shop.
Merchant sports - 1 in 49 of these stamps (1 per sheet), except for the Merchant Farthing (Candlewick Makers and Oil Men, maroon diamond) which is 1 in 70 of these stamp (the sheet is larger).
Ankh-Morpork Duty-Paid stamps - These are now being placed in 1 in 10 LBEs. Also to be found used on tobacco wrappers inside the recent Twoshirts FDC.
Assassin Antidote stamp - 1 in 100 LBEs, 175 in total.
Rat stamps - 240 produced in total, 80 of each design (raisin, potato and candle). Available only in Spring Fate event LBEs.

Plus, on the subject of franks, the word from the lady who knows all of these things is :

Granny Isobel, explaining things to a me in an email, wrote:Franking is completely random - the phase of the moon, whether there is
an R in the month, the colour of Bernard's socks and the availability of the ink pad all play a part.

So now we know everything, except perhaps the current colour of Bernard's socks.

Our roving reporter, Lord Pusha-da-Quil wrote:Isobel explained all about the extras on the bottom of each sheet. I pointed out that she had originally said that there were more than it appeared there really are. She smiled and said 'sorry - a slip between cup and lip'.
What each sheet has, is as follows:
In the selvage below the main block of sixteen stamps, at right angles to them are two stamps. They are either, two 'falling man' or two 'splash'. The first batch could very well have all been 'falling man', hence the appearance a while back of those 'falling man' stamps with left and right white plain selvage. Now a batch of 'splash' sports have arrived. Same arrangement two stamps surrounded by selvage. They will start to appear soon as single stamps.
So, at any one time, a single A4 sheet has either 3 'falling man' and 1 'splash', or 1 'falling man' and 3 'splash'. Slightly less than we all first thought.

As I was partly the fault for the original thinking, I believe that Isobel and Bernard felt sorry for me, and so 'came clean'. I don't for one minute believe that I am the first to see the A4 sheet, but I am the one they are letting tell it as it is.

by **Darren** » Tue Jun 21, 2005 12:43 pm

This question has now arisen, as we have several examples of the new Tower of Arts in sport versions. To try and clarify things somewhat, we have the following information from Isobel, which was originally posted here:

Granny Isobel wrote:Back in February, in order to use up the space on the bottom of the Tower of Art stamp sheets, Colin fitted in some extra sports.
There were 20 each of the following stamp:
Falling man - birds moved
Deeper Splash
Wind vane reversed
These stamps were kept until May when Colin did a reprint for us and this time included the following:
Falling man â€“ birds moved 80
Deeper splash 40
Wind vane Reversed 40
Some of these sports (deeper splash) were introduced into the LBEâ€™s in May and this month we have included some of the Reversed wind vane and Falling man â€“ birds moved

I still hold some of each of these sports and in fairness to all our collectors there will be further reprints.
We are asking Our Man in Norwich to send us a definitive sample of each so you can clearly see the difference. He will do this just as soon as he has sorted out his computer problem marrying up to broadband.

There is still some confusion regarding the falling man, as to how many are the "one bird" variant and how many are the "two bird". She is going to speak with Colin Edwards on this and get back to me (whence I will share the information here). She was initially unaware that the two versions were in existence, which is partly what has caused all the current confusion.

There are two additional sports per sheet (in addition to the ones within the sheet itself), positioned at the bottom. For details of this layout, see the FAQ item on this very subject directly above this one.

Addendum - After a suitably long period of time, we've actually remembered the question and got an answer

. So, without further ado...

Granny Isobel further wrote:Green Tower of Art stamps, 10,400 issued including 650 Falling man and 650 splash.

Falling man birds moved 1 62
Falling man Birds moved 2 40
Weathervane reversed 60
Bigger splash 60

So now you all know quite how rare the mk2 sports of the green TOAs were

by **Darren** » Thu Jul 07, 2005 06:22 pm

When were the stamps first issued?

The "birthday" of the Discworld stamps is 9th July 2004, when the first stamps were hand perforated at the Bath Postal Museum by Bernard and pTerry. These included most of the common stamps, such as Penny Patricians, Towers of Art and the Ankh and Morporkia stamps.

Subsequent to this we have:

December 10th 2004 - Hogswatch & Thrupn'y Dreadful
January 10 2005 - Assassin's Guild 3p
15th February (approx) - Merchants Guild
29th April Twoshirts, and Merchant $5
29th July Seamstresses Guild and Borogravia.
3rd December 2005 Hogswatch & Ankh-Morpork new colour variants.
28th April 2006 - Bad Blintz human stamps.
29th April - Bad Blintz rat stamps (in LBEs).
8th December - Hogswatch 2006.
23rd February 2007 - Bonk stamps.
3rd August 2007 - Jamboree stamps.

This information was deftly nicked from Kiyomi, from this original post.
