Garden Flower 90s - Without Serial Number

This 90s garden flower block without serial number has been out for very long time, and I just hadn't been able to get it at my local post office. One of my customers (also a faithful follower of my blog... hehe) helps me to obtain this item. I must thank him very much.

Virtue Stamp - Original vs Reissued

The virtue stamps issued on June 13, 2011 created a little storm because one of the stamps in the set portraying "THANK YOU" is controversial. The original print of the stamp contain Hindi language of THANK YOU while the re-issued print of the stamp contain Tamil language of THANK YOU. The reissued stamps were released on July 18, 2011.

2011 - Palaces

Pos Malaysia released a stamp set (palaces of Malaysia) on July 18, 2010. The stamp set contains 10 different stamps, each with denomination RM1, printed in the format of block-of-10. At the same time, a prestige stamp booklet was also released. The prestige stamp booklet contains 20 stamps (two of each stamp design from the stamp sheet). So, the prestige stamp booklet has stamp value amounting RM20. However, the issuing price for the prestige stamp booklet is RM25.

For serious collectors, the stamps from the stamp sheet and the prestige stamp booklet are different (eventhough the stamp designs are similar) because the stamps from these two sources have different perforations.

For the stamp sheet, all the vertical perforations have a size of P14. On the other hand, the top and the middle horizontal perforations are of size P13.75. However, the bottom horizontal perforation for the stamp sheet has a size of P14.5.

For booklet stamps, all the horizontal perforations are of size P14.75. The top horizontal perforation is of size P14.5, but the bottom horizontal perforation is of size P13.75.
