Grenada Postage Stamps (50th Anniversary - 1987)

On September 9, 1987, Grenada issued their collectible Disney Classic Fairytale postage. The 60-stamp series depicted scenes from Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Alice in Wonderland, and Peter Pan.

The nine 30¢ Snow Whites were produced on a single sheet with each displaying the identical "50th Anniversary" insignia found on the Rendonda stamps in the previous post. The International Collectors Society created a Certificate of Authenticity to recognize the Grenada stamps as legal tender postage.

Film buff and Disney collector Greg Philip has provided this alternate image of the Snow White Grenada stamps. Note that his sheet is identical to the one pictured above except that a different hole-punch machine must have been employed. The perforations continue out beyond the stamp area and into the border.

Also here's a look at his Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio stamp sheets from the same Grenada series.
