+ VF: 2000 Slania 1000th Stamp issue. Scott #2374. For his thousandth stamp, Slania chose to engrave a stamp for Sweden that would also supposedly be the largest regular postal stamp in the world. The stamp design is the center of the David Kloker Ehrenstral ceiling painting "Great Deeds by Swedish Kings". The blackprint of this wonderful issue was only offered in a folder / pack that also contains the mint stamp (souvenir sheet) and a first day cover. The pack bears a portrait of Slania and an image of a larger area of the ceiling painting. A very nice item! The complete pack.

In very strong demand from the thematic collectors (teddy bears, trains, toys, cards, police, legos, etc.) that know about it, however, this has yet to be "discovered" by the majority of potentially interested collectors. Very difficult to obtain. Includes a Slania engraved stamp.

+ VF: 2002 Sweden-Thailand Palaces issue. Scott #2445 set of two. Engraved, imperforate pair (just like a pair of the two Swedish stamps) with only the engraved portions of the designs, in dark brown. In handsome souvenir folder that includes the Swedish and Thailand joint stamp issues first day canceled in the folder. The brown-print pair is mint and can be easily removed from the folder. Little-known item of potential interest to many collectors. Slania engraved stamp issue.
+ VF: 2003 Nobel Prize in Medicine issue (Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Servero Ochoa). Sweden Scott #2460 set of two. Engraved, imperforate pair of the two stamps with only the engraved portion of the designs, in red. A joint issue with Spain. (Because both the Spanish and Swedish issues are the same design, this could be considered to be from either. However, the Spanish issue has its own blackprint sheet, also available from me.) This is an extremely popular thematic but this item is virtually unknown to almost all collectors who could be potentially interested. Slania engraved issue.

+ VF: Greta Garbo 2005 souvenir sheet (note stamps are perforated on all four sides). Small printing quantity and was not included in post office new issue subscriptions. Most collectors outside of Sweden seemed not to be aware of this souvenir sheet until it was already sold out. Intense demand from individual collectors (not speculation) has resulted in huge price increases. Supplies are extremely limited. The price is subject to change at any moment.
