On 20 July 2024, Myanmar Post reissued the three tiger-themed stamps—originally released on 5 September 2022—as a new sheetlet. Despite being a reissue, the design remains completely unchanged, even bearing the dates of 2022 as in the previous issue stamp. This decision has raised eyebrows among collectors.
Unlike previous reissued sheetlets, which typically compile stamps from different release dates, this one includes all three stamps that were initially issued together on the same day. Reissuing them as a unified sheetlet without any design updates or date modifications makes this release rather puzzling.
Another notable difference is in the print quality: the color of the reissued stamps appears noticeably faded compared to the original 2022 versions. A total of 30,000 sheetlets were printed, each comprising three 200-kyat stamps, making the face value of one sheetlet 600 kyats.
Collectors may find this release curious both for its unchanged design and its subtle variations—raising questions about the motivation and strategy behind this reissue.
