Two rare small sheets on thin card, not generally available. The top sheet is an Artist's Proof - Final Trial of Overlay Artworks for Hogswatch (Christmas) stamps and a sheet of sports, deliberate errors, for another Hogswatch issue depicting a post box. With some sports being more subtle than others, including various degrees of blood on the snow. {Mongooses were introduced into post boxes to keep down the snake population which were introduced to reduce the toad population which were introduced to reduce the number of snails :D }

This item was given to those who had donated stamps for a charity, only about 52 were issued as this certificate. The stamp may be difficult to see but it features Lord Vetinari's shield.

Those are some lovely examples of your horded treasures Daniel! I acquired a couple of items I'd been after for some time today: The Golem Trust mini sheet, and sheet of Black Madisons! :)
