This one is actually a favor to my nephew who's mom handed me this 8.5" X 11" envelope with these plastered all over the front and back. After soaking them off and sorting through a hundred of them, I figured out that these were the five that were being repeated over and over and over again. My Scott Catalog only goes to 2009 so I have several questions about these stamps:

Image Not Found

1) Is what I'm showing a complete set?

2) What are thier Scott #'s?

3) What is thier exact issue date?

4) A rough gestimate of value based off of Scott?

Thanks in advance for any help here.

Pat - There are 12 different stamps in this set.

These stamps were issued October 29, 2010.

Unfortunately, I do not have a recent Scott stamp catalogue for South African stamps.

re: South Africa: identification 2010 definitive set

As the picture in the article Liz linked to only gave 3 out of the 5 stamps that were shown by Pat, I thought that the article did not tell the complete story. And according to the Free Stamp Catalogue, it did not indeed.

Here is the picture I found of the complete 27 (!) stamps large definitives set

I wonder what the "B" values are for.

edit:

I also found these selfadhesive versions:

making it 34 stamps in total to collect! And there are bound to be many varieties, as usual for South Africa.

These are the 8th definitive set of South African stamps. I have a booklet on them from South Africa Post Office, saying that the series was issued on 27th October 2010. The stamps shown in the original post are the self-adhesive Standard Letter rate stamps.
The B4 & B5 stamps are for use on larger envelopes: B4 stamps for 353 x 250 mm sized envelopes, and B5 stamps for 250 x 176 mm envelopes.

Hmmm... more and more interesting. And yes, they were self-adhesive but soaked off nicely in HOT water, leaving the gum attached to the envelope so no sticky mess to deal with. And thanks for the information so far.
