Description:

The Chinese Zodiac brings us the most fascinating stamps each year and this year we are celebrating the DOG. The Chinese New Year starts on February 16th and you will have until that day to sign up for the swap.

This is a swap where only one person per country will participate. If multiple people from one country want to participate, I will create a second swap to accommodate the participation.

For this swap, you have one partner and you will send you partner at least one souvenir sheet from your country and it will be representing the Year of the Dog. Currently Canada has two souvenir sheets for the occasion.

Below, remember to state in the comment section from what country you are sending from.

As per Arpin Philately, a souvenir sheet has these characteristics:

1) "can contain only 1 stamp, but generally has 2 or more (especially if a series was issued) enclosed within a decorative design."

2) " A souvenir sheet usually has more artistic value; additional designs,"

3) "On a souvenir sheet, the stamp(s) is either the current denomination for the domestic rate, USA rate or international rate. When there is more than one stamp on a souvenir sheet, often times the denominations are different from one stamp to the other."

Have fun with this swap.

I home school my special needs daughter and we are looking to do lots of International Swaps ...

What is a SOUVENIR SHEET?

I'm not sure the USA has a souvenir sheet for year of the dog. Here is an example of a US souvenir sheet for hockey (https://store.usps.com/store/product/stamp-collectors/the-history-of-hockey-souvenir-sheet-S564604)[https://store.usps.com/store/product/stamp-collectors/the-history-of-hockey-souvenir-sheet-S564604] which shows just the 2 stamps, as opposed to the sheet of 20 stamps which is just the stamps.

We have stamps ... they are just 20 to a sheet or one stamp. Can I join if I send two stamps?

Please check google for the souvenir sheet better description. This is a special items, not just a loose stamp. If anyone wants to participate in a stamp exchange, i could create a swap, but I love mint stamps the most and collect souvenir sheets.
