Formats of Commemorative Issues in 2024 White Ace Supplements

FORMATS FOR 2024 ISSUES IN WHITE ACE COMMEMORATIVE SUPPLEMENTS

(September 2024)

This compilation is being published to assist in collecting currently available issues in advance of publication of the 2024 White Ace album supplements. Please note that while the formats herein listed are believed to be accurate as of this date, we assume no responsibility for any changes made before publication of these albums. The supplements summarized here will be released in early 2025.

The Commemorative Singles SIMPLIFIED pages are intended to simplify the collector's stamp purchasing requirements, and are thus an ideal choice for a beginning collector. Released for the first time by White Ace for the 1996 issues, they have been continued for each subsequent year's issues and will continue to be published, in the same format, for the 2024 issues. These pages will generally seek to show each face different stamp only once. For stamps issued in se-tenant format - i.e. more than one stamp design in a pane - the smallest intact unit will be shown that contains all designs. This will usually be a strip, block or full booklet pane. All face different versions of each commemorative issue will be included and will thus enable the collector to assemble a complete commemorative collection.

The Commemorative Singles (complete) pages will continue to be published in their original format for collectors wishing to assemble a more detailed and comprehensive collection. For se-tenant issues, these pages will show a set of singles and a strip or block as in the past. Other stamp formats will continue to be shown in a manner consistent with prior printings of this album.

WINTER WHIMSY (10/10/24)

Many of the 2024 commemorative issues listed are unexceptional and follow formats long established for each of the albums listed. For those which are not common or do not fit established patterns, we offer the following explanations.

In the White Ace Plate Block Albums, a plate block is considered the smallest block (of 4 or more stamps) that can be taken from the margin of the sheet, that contains all stamp designs, and has attached selvage bearing a plate number. If more than one such block can be removed from a sheet and the plate number is adjacent to a different stamp design in any of these, then each such example is shown in our Plate Blocks Complete pages. In our Plate Blocks Simplified pages, any such plate position can be collected. In most cases, there will be two rows or columns of stamps opposite the plate number. (This definition may vary somewhat where there is a particularly attractive header or illustrated selvage or where there is more than one plate number along the same margin of the sheet).
