There are questions about the actual issuance date of this set. Klewitz reports it to be May 10th, 1989. Michel also reports that Fist Day Covers with April 30th, 1989 so the actual issuance date is unclear at this time.

Stamps sold at Vietnamese post offices were sold without gum while stamps sold by the official Vietnamese stamp agency were sold gummed.
