Thanks Kim, "Gymnastics" is close enough.

re: GB #2928

Thanks, Guys.

One of our sellers had put up a bunch of the Summer London Olympics issues some time ago , postally used. As the lots I won were being processed for mailing a small, but definite tear was noticed in the stamp so it was not included and a note was, saying that as soon as a good replacement could be found it would be replaced.
That was fine by me, and some time passed, long enough for me to have forgotten about what was essentially a $0.40 or so item, at most. Then last week the seller found the note and could not remember either, if he had sent it so he asked if I had received it. (Thinking that the note should have been thrown away long ago ). However, I had no idea what it was beyond the Scott Number, which was useless to me as, first off I am not big on catalog numbers and I use Gibbons anyway

Thus, with the description "Gymnastics" I was able to look at the set and see if there was a Gymnastics stamp in the set or a space.
