Only sold in direct sales on the Stamperija website and associated dealers
Previously said to be produced for local postal use in Niger by Philatelic Agent (statement now deleted), and not distributed to new issues agents outside Niger. The only problem is....little to no evidence of commercial postal usage! "Local" means the topic of the stamp series is on local themes of the country inscribed and that is all it means.
Although this issue was authorized by the Niger postal administration, virtually the whole issue was not sold in Niger, but only distributed by the Niger philatelic agency Stamperija for distribution onto the philatelic market. The massive numbers of issues produced obviously were not needed in Niger and it is obvious they were made for profits to the agency from stamp collectors.
