1969 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE INTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATION
Scott #621-623, C345-347 SG #1174-9

Stanley Gibbons does not note who the printer was for this set. It is proven that Format was the printer by the issues proofs on Format Presentation Cards.
Not many offers for this set on the market.



1973 70TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE PAN-AMERICAN HEALTH ORGANIZATION
Scott #C391-4, SG #1276-9



1973 MARINE LIFE Scott #669-72,C395-8, SG #1280-7
Imperforate proofs on card exist for this issue.



1973 FISH Scott #673-4,C399-C402, SG #1288-93
Imperforate proofs on presentation cards exist for this issue.
Stanley Gibbons does not note the printer of this issue nor that they are indeed lithograph.
This puts into question several future sets that are not noted by printer but are noted as lithograph.



1980 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FIRST WORLD CUP FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP
Scott #731-3,C499-c506, SG #1426-36

In 2017 it was drawn to my attention and proven that this set was not printed by the Format Printers. It was printed by The House of Questa.
Yet another error in the Stanley Gibbons catalogs.



1984 STAMP CENTENARY Scott #781-8, SG #1501-8
Imperforate proofs exist for this issue.
These were the last stamps printed by the Format International Security Printers Ltd. for Haiti. The company went into bankruptcy in 1988.
