This one is actually a favor to my nephew who's mom handed me this 8.5" X 11" envelope with these plastered all over the front and back. After soaking them off and sorting through a hundred of them, I figured out that these were the five that were being repeated over and over and over again. My Scott Catalog only goes to 2009 so I have several questions about these stamps:



1) Is what I'm showing a complete set?

2) What are thier Scott #'s?

3) What is thier exact issue date?

4) A rough gestimate of value based off of Scott?

Thanks in advance for any help here.

re: South Africa: identification 2010 definitive set

As the picture in the article Liz linked to only gave 3 out of the 5 stamps that were shown by Pat, I thought that the article did not tell the complete story. And according to the Free Stamp Catalogue, it did not indeed.

Here is the picture I found of the complete 27 (!) stamps large definitives set



I wonder what the "B" values are for.

edit:

I also found these selfadhesive versions:



making it 34 stamps in total to collect! And there are bound to be many varieties, as usual for South Africa.

Hmmm... more and more interesting. And yes, they were self-adhesive but soaked off nicely in HOT water, leaving the gum attached to the envelope so no sticky mess to deal with. And thanks for the information so far.
