folder.
Scott recognises a 1944 sheet for the centenary of independence, Sc407
comprising 12 stamps, Sc407a to 407l, SG506-517. Gibbons mentions this but
does not number it or recognise it as a sheet because it was only issued to
visiting officials, not available to the public.

Gibbons (Pt. 18)
notes that many South Korean stamps from 1948 to 1956 exist in sheets but
that these were from printings presented to postal and government officials.
As they were not sold to the public, Gibbons does not number them. From 1957
to 1961 most stamps were also issued on sheets and sold to the public.
