Rainbow Stamp Club: Aldabra Giant Tortoise

Hi Readers, After a long long awaiting, Aldabra Giant Tortoises have been gifted to philatelists by India Post. It is a gift because some might have received errors in it just because of its unusual shape and design. Due to its typical and complicated design there is lot of possibility of error in printing. I have image of one sheetlet with interesting combination of variety and error to show you. I have also some New Meghdoot Cards issued yesterday on Road Safety. In the last part of the post some setenants from the Album of Mr. Shrikant Parikh. Just enjoy the post and have a very nice time......

Tortoise with Precious Beauty

Imperf. Stamp

Imperf. stamp

Normal Perforation (Backside of the sheetlet)

Error in Perforation ( backside of the sheetlet)

Technically ( in the language of Postal Deptartment) this PMR = Pre-Mature-Release of Aldabra Giant Tortoise sheetlets are released toady after much wait and anxiety among collectors. We have not seen these Giant Tortoise , but we see their stamps issued in form of Sheetlet of 13 stamps and here is an interesting example of Giant Tortoise with Giant perforation error. Out of 13 stamps only 2 stamps are fully perforated on 6 sides, while 4 stamps are Imperf on 2 sides and 7 stamps are Imperf on 1 side. !!??!!
