Canada/Stamps : Canada Post Playing Games

I just received the 4th quarter 2015 stamp packet from Canada Post. Inside was a packet that looks like a pack of sports cards. Contained in the packet are 6 NHL souvenir sheets for the great Canadian goalies. Canada Post states that one in 40 packs (out of a total print run of 100,000) contains an exclusive souvenir sheet with an original signature of one of the goalies. The estimated value of the autographed sheet is $100 CA.

The souvenir sheets look just like sports cards, except that the photograph of the player is the stamp. The back of the sheet has the player's stats.

Oh, my pack did not have a signature card.

Those are great, eh?

I've been using them on mail The Habs fans are all happy to receive Ken Dryden, and the Gump. I'm still a big Habs fan.

Canada Post calls the souvenir sheet, they're really just over-sized stamps. But, they have been selling well, according to my local post office.

I didn't get any autographed ones, either, BeeSee! I was hoping for a Ken Dryden autograph.

David- This looks like the Inverted Jenny lottery the USPS is running. The only thing this does is sell stamps. Thumbs Down

re: Canada Post Playing Games

I suspect the Canada Post version is a little more organised.

David, BeeSee, I don't think that Ken Dryden has autographed his stamp. The 4 autographs are Johnnie Bower, Tony Esposito, Bernie Parent (I have 1 of each) and Martin Brodeur. (still looking for 1...)

You are correct, Gilles... I checked the Canada Post website.
