ALL HALLOWS POST OFFICE 2020 (FarFetchedPhilately)

Thanks Steve, I was really impressed with your articles in the esteemed Cinderella philatelist .....you listed

H20 Dead letter office Tan and olive green

H20v1 Mirrored Skull

Which is the variation on the sheet on sale at FarFetchedPhilately

but I'm uncertain what you mean by H20v2 Brown skull variation 

is this a colour variation /could you share a picture?

Of course the other two variants you list must appear on a second (unavailable) sheet (H20s2 ?)

H20v3 Inverted skull variation

And a tete beche pair (H20it) of an Inverted stamp and H20v1

So presumably the inverted stamp would be H20v4 ?

However there is another variant (not a colour variation) that was in the latest Mixed Bag of Halloween stamps

and there is possibly more...??

I wondered if anyone else had found any

Also do any of these variants have selvage attached which would identify where they appear on this second sheet ?

Glad you appreciated the article. Of course an update is now necessary, but that will be a while yet.

Anyway here's brown skull variation se-tenant and Tete-beche with the mirror skull variation for comparison. Is this the same as the pairing you mention? I do have a single stamp of the brown skull (no selvedge)
Also a mirror skull from a not for sale sheet showing position.




Brown skull is a bit misleading as its the background.

All this tells us that there was a variants only sheet. Whether this only had DLO or whether it was larger than the sale sheets and included the non-sheet variants of the other stamps is an unknown. If the non sheet variant's selvedges match the for sale sheets then I would go for 1 (or two) mixed variants sheets.

The majority of my non sheet variants lack a selvedge. I doubt I would have removed these myself, as I generally fold them under the stamp. But I might have in a moment of forgrtfulness. Anyway this is what I do have
Death Duty overprints 2022
C1r2 C2r3 c3r3
Purple halloween
c2 r1
DLO
C1 r2

C1 r2

C1r2 occurs three times suggesting 3 non sheet variant mixed sheets

All the above have the same colour selvedge text and little logo (while other stamps may have a colour matching the stamp). Hence same template used for all mixed sheets perhaps?

The more you look the murkier it seems. When will the waters clear?

As I said... murkier

Are we the only two on the forum who bought packets? Contributions from others would be most 👏

The only example I have of the "brown skull" is this one....

The duller one is the original 2020 printing, while the brighter on is a 2022 reprint.
