Faroe: Souvenir Cards: Official Souvenir Pages

With only a couple minor exceptions, the only officially issued Faroe "souvenir cards" are their so-called officially-issued "album pages". Additional items are usually in stock, but not on the website; please request approvals.

Officially issued by the Faroe post office, these little-known first day-canceled souvenir cards or pages were intended to be put in a 2-post binder (I have never seen one). The opening page in the book was to be the 1975 90 øre Map issue (I have never seen pages for the rest of the 1975 issue). Following that, I have only seen a page for the 1976 Postal Service issue and one example of a page (no stamp affixed) for the 1979 Ram. Then my record jumps to 1981, with nearly full coverage until 1988. Pages may have been issued later than that, but I have never seen them or any reports of them. However, a card not listed is not necessarily scarce. My understanding is that these pages were originally intended to be for child collectors, but that they ended up having a broader interest base. In any case, while they were current, I never saw them offered in North America. Many of the pages are highly "topical", including issues engraved by Slania, but are virtually unknown to topical and Slania collectors. While these pages were apparently intended only to be offered with stamps affixed and first day canceled, I have seen just a couple "mint" pages without stamps (they may have been "errors"). While the cards are all on gray paper with lilac printing, I have seen one card (Scott #65-9) with green printing and possibly also with lilac printing. [Comments as of 7/09.]

I am generally interested in buying all these cards, whether listed or not.
