1985 LEADERS OF THE WORLD, ELVIS PRESLEY (ENTERTAINER) Scott #874-81, SG #919-26,MS927
Two similar designs, each with a face value of $4.00 were prepared but not issued. 425 perforated pairs were found in the archive.
The imperforates that were left (probably the whole print run) were also saved.
Quantities of this issue perforated, imperforate proofs, errors and intentional errors
came onto the market after the liquidation of the Format International Security Printers Ltd. in 1988.
There are some varieties that are legitimately rare. Also full uncut press sheets of this issue
have a rarity factor. More detail will be presented on these in another section of the study.
Saint Vincent Philatelic Services Ltd. reports that unauthorized reprints of these exist, poorly printed
on whiter paper.
I now have a page demonstrating how to identify the unauthorized reprints mentioned above. The Stanley Gibbons catalog descriptions are vague and basically wrong!
The Scott catalogs say nothing at all! I am fighting to change that.
These unauthorized reprints were produced sometime after 1990 after the closing of the Format Printing Companies doors.
Please hit the link below to view. Perhaps you are one of the buyers of these and do not even know it!
A word of warning is that there are several "errors" and varieties that were created with this now infamous reprinting. All inverts are these unauthorized reprints. Don't get ripped off!
They exist in the thousands!

It is way under priced as there were only 300 cut mini sheets found. There were 6 uncut press sheets of 9 mini panes of which
one of the sheets was missing two panes. All the panes were imperforate at the bottom on these press sheets.
There are 6 different $2.00 mini panes. 300 of each were found in the archive. Several uncut press sheets of them existed also. I believe all
have been cut into pairs and such now.
