I received this comment today from one of my regular Cyprus stamp collectors and wonder what other collectors and those with thematic interests think of the latest issue to celebrate the 2012 UEFA European Cup?

Hello Michele. Many thanks indeed for the new issues that arrived this morning, Tuesday 26. The London Olympics stamps are very nice but oh dear! the UEFA sheet is something of a disaster. I wonder if any other club members have an opinion on this?
Kind Regards,
John

Hi John
Well I'm pleased to hear your order arrived safely but sadly I can't fix the design of the UEFA mini sheet for you :-)
The only saving grace really is the quite cleverly embedded round stamp which features the football boot resting on the ball with the price of the stamp on the inner edge of the football boot.
But, we feel neither of the stamp issues were particularly adventurous given the theme. They could have done so much more with them....
I may just have to share your comment in my regular social networks and see if anyone else has a view on it!
Kind regards
