Does anyone know why they limited it to the first 3,000 to include the stamps?
When the stamps were purchased in 1990 by Harbour Lights, they came in a stamp booklet with all five images. (See Paul's image above of the five stamps.)
In 1991, these panes of stamps had to be divided into the five individual stamps so that those individual stamps could be inserted into the glassine protector and attached to the folder of the four 1991 releases.
The remaining individual stamps of American Shoal were put into storage. Nobody wants the job of counting out 3,000 or more indvidual stamps.
Kim has said 'at least 3,000' American Shoal will arrive with stamp. It could be more, it depends on how many stamps they actually have.
Any of you philatelists know what that one American Shoal stamp is worth today?
