🇬🇬 Guernsey Post -

23 April 2025 - Places to visit in the Bailiwick - 4 stamps. Designed by Caroline Cummins and lithographed. These designs were originally intended to be used for the SEPAC issue due for release on 25 July 2024 but did not appear “due to unforeseen circumstances”. It was originally intended to use the royal cipher on the stamps rather than the cameo of King Charles and, not surprisingly, the face values are now different from those originally intended (65p, £1.20, £2.71 and £4.31 - now 69p, £1.37, £2.82 and £4.63 - a total increase of 62p - what a difference 8 months makes. Rating:- 0.

2559. 🇬🇬 Guernsey Withdraws SEPAC Issue.

 

New issues -

25 July 2024 - SEPAC, Guernsey’s main tourist attractions - 4 stamps. A message has been received from Guernsey Post saying, “Dear Customer, We regret to inform you that the Guernsey SEPAC (Main Tourist Attractions) stamp issue, originally scheduled for release on July 25th, has been withdrawn due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and hope you enjoy the other issues released this July….”

Guernsey Post’s internet site also now shows that the issue was withdrawn.

I think this issue must have been withdrawn prior to issue, rather than after some had been sold, because there is no evidence of the issue being offered for sale by anyone on the usual internet auction sites even at a premium price.
