Singapore 2010 YOG MyStamp Sheet

This is the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games MyStamp sheetlet, the size is that of a A5 sheet, in horizontal mode. It was released on the games opening day, 14 August 2010; priced at SGD15.50 at post offices, it comes in a hard board folder. There are 2 large panes on the sheetlet, the top pane shows the 2010 YOG logo, and the lower one displays the games mascots, Lyo and Merly. This sheet is supposedly available with the panes available for personalisation, i.e. one can send in a couple of photos to be printed on these panes. This is a very innovative idea for the games, because I can think of games participants printing their moments of victory on these panes! I understand that this sheetlet was sold out within a week of release.

Singapore 2010 YOG Mascots

This MyStamp sheetlet was released to mark the introduction of the mascots for the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games (SYOG) - Lyo & Merly, on 21st November 2009. The sheet contains the original 4 stamps issued on 14 August 2009 to mark the 1-year countdown to the opening of the games, and labels with the SYOG logo, and the mascots. The orange creature is Lyo, a young lion, and the blue one is called Merly, supposed to be a youth version of the Merlion .... hmm ... looks that the juvenile Merlion has legs! The remaining question now is whether merlions lay eggs or have life birth ...
