Similar, yes, but not the same stamp. Same print used in the Deutschland August 28th, 1997.

With a 2014 cancellation, probably too new to be in the catalogs.

Oy Michael - I missed the cancellation date 
Jacques - thanks, I only have the 2008/2009 Michel and my SG and Scott are the same dates so I'm stuck on the post-2009 issues. Thank you, thank you!

Doing a bit more research on the stamp. Could this be Scott DDR 2883 issued July 2, 1990?

Well, all be! How did I miss that? Yes, that is the one! Michel 3345.
There are 4 series that were issued in 1990 under the name Deutsche Post.
This particular series of 9 issues, July 2nd.
August 28th, series of 4 issues.
September 18th, 2 issues.
October 2nd, 2 issues.
So here's my question there were two series posted during this time frame - July 24th and October 2nd, that are under the name DDR. Why did they use Deutsche Post in lieu of DDR or vice versa?

From Wikipedia: "With the reunification of Germany on 3 October 1990, the DP became part of the Deutsche Bundespost, which in turn later became the privatized Deutsche Post AG on 1 January 1995. As part of the reunification process, the DP's stamps became valid also for the FRG and West Berlin, beginning on 2 July 1990, and vice versa, until their eventual expiration. The dates regarding the expiration of the validity of GDR stamps were established as follows: for stamps Mi #1004-#3343, they were invalid as of 1 October 1990, while for Mi #3344-#3365, they were invalid as of 12 December 1991." The references given are pages 029 and 1238 of the Michel Deutschland Spezial 1997 catalogue.

Thanks Bob - never thought of looking on Wikipedia. LOL Seems my brain is in malfunction mode tonight.
So the Deutsche Post were privately printed? What about the two series in that time period that are still issued as DDR?

Thanks for adding it Bobby. I have used the 1st listing, The Free Stamp Catalog, a lot recently to assist me in some international trading. They do list a price for stamps/sets (the site is run by a major dealer in the Netherlands) so while not a 'true' catalog price, I use it as a good reference to current market price. I do like that they post pics of all stamps within a set. Mike in NC / meostamps

I've never seen this one before and I cannot find it in Michel. Can anyone tell me what it is - either Michel, Scott or SG?
