Year
of the Three Roses
A special numbered edition of just 1,000 LBEs to mark the Year of the
Signifying Frog. Each will contain an assortment of the new Ankh
Morpork stamps to the value of £5.00 or thereabout.
Each LBE contained a significant phrase or saying (from the Frog). One in 10 contained a special prize winning ticket which could be redeemed for a special First Day Covers. In addition there was a sport or variant stamp per 10 Envelopes.
Released: 1 February 2006
Valentine's
Day 2008
The now traditional LBE to mark this most loving day, issued early to
give time to send it on to your beloved. Or time to decide to
keep
them yourself. Every one will contained a mis-perforated
Seamstress 2p, a
motto, heart shaped sprinkles, and the usual selection of
stamps to a
value of at least £5.00. But in addition,
random LBES will contain
a brand new Penny Patrician sport - not the one that's on the
sheet -
and others will hold a surprise stamp. And don't forget that
this will
be the last possibility to get your hands on the
Tower of Art fountain
sports, before that series is withdrawn at the end of the month.
Released: 8 February 2006
Spring 2008
A new LBE to celebrate Spring! Every packet will contain one
each of
the new Tower of Art stamps, and in addition to the usual mix of
stamps, sports and variations, one in 25 will contain a new $1 Tower of
Art sport. Unfortunately, a few of Mr Owlswick Jenkins'
forged 50p
green Tower of Art stamps may have strayed into the LBE assembly area,
so the odd one may turn up.
Released: February 2008

Travellers special LBE

The
May Meet LBE 2008
LBE released for the May Meet held at Wincanton. Every LBE
will contain one of the new Tsort stamps as well as the usual mix of
stamps, but each will also contain a ‘betting slip’.
One in 10 could be a winning bet, and having consulted Mrs Cake, we are already able to tell you the results of the races. Fifty LBEs will contain a bet for ‘Sticky Licker’, and win a free May Meet LBE. Another 50 will contain a betting slip for one of the
horses listed here. The remainder will be a bet for ‘Lucky Jim’,
who sadly fell at the first fence.
Released: 1 May 2008
The
Salad Server LBE
To celebrate the season of cold summer
evenings and limp salads we
are introducing the Summer Sunshine Salad Server LBE.
Throughout the
northern hemisphere the air is filled with cries and oaths as the salad
servers replace the fish slice as the kitchen utensil most likely to
get jammed in the drawer, and in recognition of this every Salad Server
LBE will contain an Anoia stamp*, a protection just
as essential as
SPF25. They will also contain at least one of
the new Sto Helit
stamps, with the possibility of both 1p and 4p sports.
Apart from the usual mix, the $1 Tower of Art and Owlswick sports will also make an occasional appearance.
*The Anoia sport will not be in LBEs.
Released: 1 April 2008Fourth

variations,
watch out for Year 1 red ha'penny and green $1 Tower of Art stamps,
