Issue miniature sheets and sell them for 12 times the
face value.
This is the text of the official announcement of New Zealand Post:
| A special joint marketing venture between Telecom New
Zealand and New Zealand Post sees the production of this exquisite combination Stained Glass Windows PhoneCard/Stamp sheet collector pack, which salutes the miracle of Christmas. Only 3000 sets incorporating the Stamp Sheet and four PhoneCards have been produced making it an ideal product for those seeking limited issue editions. New Zealand Post's allocation is only 1500 packs and we believe these will sell quickly. If orders exceed supply a ballot will be held on 15 January 1996. The stained glass window images featured on both the PhoneCards and stamps are taken from St Mary's Anglican Church, Christchurch and The Lady Chapel of St Luke's Anglican Church in Christchurch. Adding to the uniqueness of this impressive issue, the Stamp Sheet, a Certificate of Authenticity and the Archangel Gabriel PhoneCard all have matching serial numbers. The Stamp Sheet is gold foiled and has been produced especially for this pack. NewZealandPost |
The miniature sheet has a face value of NZ$ 6.20, the telephone cards of
NZ$ 40. The latter are of no special value for stamp collectors and people
living outside New Zealand. Anyway, they may always be sold for NZ$ 40.
But what does this combination with a face value of NZ$ 46.20 cost?
Not more than NZ$ 115!
Less NZ$ 40 for the phone cards that's NZ$ 75 to be paid for a miniature
sheet of NZ$ 6.20!
