In 1992, the Korean National Tuberculosis Association (KNTA) seal program released four small sheets in a souvenir sheet format with ten different images on each of the two sheets, and each of those two sheets were printed on a silver and gold foil background for a total of 40 different seals. The seals show 20 different types of Korean butterflies.
The 2022 Korea Postage Stamp Catalogue (KPSC) gives the catalogue numbers for the 1992 seals as TCS 288-297 and TCS 288A-297A for two of the sheets with the same images, but printed on and silver and gold backgrounds, and TCS 298-307 and TCS 298A-307A, for the other two small sheets with different images, also printed on silver and gold backgrounds. The KPSC values each of the four small sheets at 8,000 won (US$6.00).
In 1992, the production by the KNTA of the Christmas/TB seals increased significantly over the previous year to the amount of 32,293,000 seals. The author does not know the number of the 1992 seals that was sold. The price of each seal remained the same as the previous year, 120 won. With the increased amount of seals printed in 1992, it most likely that again a new record for funds was raised by the sales of Christmas/TB seals for the KNTA’s fight against TB. The year 1992 is the last year that the author has the production number of seals printed.
The author has seen two types of the sheet TCS 288-297 (one shown in this article), two types of the sheet TCS 288A-297A (both shown in this article), one type of sheet of TCS 298-307, and one type of TCS 298A-307A. Both sheets of TCS 288-297 have color guides on the right margin and the one shown in this article has red crossing lines in the upper right hand margin; the one not shown also has the color guides on the right hand margin, but has a red vertical line in the upper right margin and a blue vertical line in the bottom right margin. Most likely there are other types of the 1991 sheets.
The author does have a 1992 folder, also depicted in this article, which contained the seals in a pocket in which the seals are placed, but does not have an envelope, if one was used for the 1992 seals. There was also a promotional sheetlet which is shown in this article. The number of the folders printed doubled from the previous year to 30,000.
A special promotional sheetlet was also issued by the KNTA in 1992 to honor Einar Holbøll, a postal clerk from Denmark, who in 1904, was the inventor of the first Christmas seal used to raise funds in the fight against tuberculosis. It was also the 60th anniversary of the initiation of the Christmas seal program in Korea in 1932 by Dr. Sherwood Hall.
