You are bidding on the SAPO release of the Hard Cover Mandela 90th Birthday FDC.. truly a great investment. you won't find many of these lying around I assure you.
 

South African Post Office has issued two limited issue Mandela birthday stamps which will soon see the elder statesman winging his way all around the world.

The stamps were launched on 15 July 2008. Both are designed as miniature sheets with collectors in mind - the stamps actually form part of a larger picture. The domestic stamp features a smiling Mandela in a photo taken by Halden Krog, while the international stamp sees the statesman posing elegantly for a portrait by Cyril Coetzee.

"Stamps are small ambassadors that carry images of our country to destinations all over the world," said SAPO board chairperson Vuyo Mahlati at the launch, "and Madiba's 90th birthday will be remembered far into the future, because it has been captured on a stamp. We are very proud to be part of it."
