Hello!

This auction is for a 1962 Wilkinsburg Souvenir sheet. Being the second souvenir sheet issued by the club, it is difficult to find, and is one of the keys in completing this series. This sheet sold out, and the club said that if any sold out items are requested, "a mimeographed copy any sheet not now available" could be sent. The sheet is in perfect condition with full, immaculate never hinged gum. These satirical sheets poke fun at the previous years stamp subjects with no regard for political correctness.

A description from the Wilkinsburg Stamp Club about this year's sheet;

"This was the first year for 'Europa' stamps and almost every country issued them, whether in the European Organization or not, so we thought our 'Upper Slobbovia' should honor 'Europa'. Our stamp shows the nineteen doves flying in a dove pattern as shown on Europa stamps of that year, the U-ROPE-A inscription and an American Cowboy who ropes the doves. Marginal inscriptions on all sheets are always humorous."
