Recent Special Event Sheets and Packs


There's been a flurry of stamp packs and sheets released in the past few weeks.

There are no official release dates, but the earliest known on sale date is given below.

90th Anniversary of Brownlow Medal (6 October 2014)
First seen in post offices on 6 October (and in Stamp Bulletin No. 331, but not yet online), this pack contains two sheetlets of 10 blue Australia and Map stamps with tabs in a new layout, as well as a facsimile of the original Brownlow letter. It does not include mention of the 2014 Brownlow winner. Unless the printer of these stamp sheetlets is new, there should be no difference between the stamps in these packs on those in the AFL/NRL Team packs released earlier this year. The pack sells for $19.95.

AFL Premiers and Brownlow Medal Winner (6 October 2014)
Marking Hawthorn's back-to-back win in the AFL Grand Final and the awarding of the Brownlow to Matt Priddis, these Special Event Sheet features a new layout for such sheets. Featuring eight Map stamps with the tab between the stamps, the two sheets retail for $15.95 each. Unless the printer of these stamp sheetlets is new, there should be no difference between the stamps in these packs on those in the AFL/NRL Team packs released earlier this year.

Batman - 75th Anniversary Packs (13 October 2014)
Two packs to mark the 75th anniversary of Batman. Australia Post's product sheets list the release date of these as 22 October, but they first appeared online on 13 October. Unless the printer of these stamp sheetlets is new, there should be no difference between the stamps in these packs on those in the AFL/NRL Team packs released earlier this year.

NRL Premiers (15 October 2014)
Australia Post will also mark the Rabbitohs Premiership win with a sheet featuring a similar format to the AFL Premiers. Again the sheet will sell for $15.95. Again it is not expected that the stamps in this sheet will be different to those released previously.
