Purists to this day often still regard them as an unnecessary extra expense and with almost every postal administration producing them, it is difficult not to agree about the cost factor. They are, by definition, smaller in physical scale than a Souvenir Sheet. The term Souvenir Sheet (SS) has been used here to describe philatelic items containing sheetlets of the same stamp design in a format smaller than a traditional counter sheet (say, up to 25 stamps), but only where there is some sort of decoration or other value-adding element. These days, that would include the larger decorative items such as the personal- ised sheets that many Post Offices now issue that usually take the form of a label depicting an image supplied by the customer alongside the stamp. Also included are sheets with, say, four to six repeated multiple designs usually in blocks or strips. This section only includes MS and SS sold by the official national postal service and not those by any other issuer, or in any other stamp format, many of which may be found listed elsewhere in this handbook. Stamps in this section are NOT repeated in Part A (Stamps) unless an identical stamp was included in both a MS or SS AND a traditional counter sheet.
