From Tonga-Niuafo'ou issue of 1989 Scott vol 6 (2012)page 866 It states that a miniature sheet Nos. 108-121 with UPU emblem Need help to figure out what it is telling me. No pic to provide a direction. Anyone seen this to know how the catalog number should read to add to my want lists

In the 2013 Scott, the miniature sheet is listed as Scott #123. Singles from the sheet are Scott #123a-123n. The description states miniature sheet of 15 with the UPU emblem:

123a-123e = #108-112 (all 32s values of the designs)
123f-123j = #113-117 (all 42s values of the designs)
123k-123n = #118-121 (all 57s values of the designs)

There is no picture of the sheet.

Now looking at Gibbons, a little more information is obtained:

Gibbons #MS132

The UPU emblem is printed at the top right on each stamp, and there are some new values. Again, no picture of the sheet.

The number referral by Scott from the sheet minor values to the major values without the UPU emblem is misleading.

I don't have this sheet, so I can't provide you with a picture.

This was a group decision to delete where you mentioned that it was on sale and on what site. Clearly, you aren't trying to promote a different site on purpose, but the picture was posted to show an example of a set discussed in a different post. For that reason, it wasn't necessary to also mention that it was on sale and what site it was on. You didn't do anything terrible by any means. It was sort of on the edge of promoting a sale on a different site and just mentioning something. If David, Tim, Liz and/or Jan-Simon want to weigh in, we will know if that's something that should or shouldn't be continued in the future. Thank you for your patience, Nigel!

Nigel,
It turns out that you are owed an apology! So on behalf of the newbie moderators, we are sorry. Posts should only be deleted if they are self-promoting which yours was not. Rest assured, it won't happen again!
