This set is by far the most exciting set to work through...

If you want all issued types (mentionned in most catalogues),  there are 14 stamps to collect.
If you're looking for all subypte (colour variation / perforation variations/plate variations) you'll end up with 27 stamps.
Having one of each plate variations .... gives a total of 354 stamps...
oh, except for the 6 centavos, all issues were printed on two paper types ... makes a grand total of 702 stamps...

National Heroes - series III

Let's take a deep breath and start with the 12 face values :
1/2, 2, 3, 5,6, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 centavos. = 12 stamps

some examples of Series III

The 2 and the 5 centavos come in two types. The catalogue of Argentina, therefore gives two different catalogue numbers to each value... two extra stamps makes 14 different ones.

Most stamps were printed on two, three or even 4 plates. In most cases, the stamps can be identified to which plate they came from. In the event you want each variation .... there are 354 different variation in total !
Finally, the experts will tell you paper differences, which almost doubles the number of variations. Leading to about 700 stamps.

In the future posts, I will go deeper into the the plate variations
