How to collect them?

Presumably 2 ways –

1 stamp for each bird/value, regardless of imprint date

1 stamp for each bird/value/imprint date combination

We obtained our mint stamps from new issue sources. To date we have seen very few used copies.

Where there are multiple designs for a single value, this indicates that the stamps can be found in blocks (of 4 or 10)

 

This is what we have (all unmounted mint)
