I have a question that I am sure is silly, but I am having difficulty finding answers on. In beginning to resort my machin collection, I have come across what I think is a sheet from a Prestige Book, of the white embossed NVI 1st Machin, but the sheet is marked as "Stamp '99". I can't find reference to it in the Minisheet section of SG, so I assume it's page from a PB.
I'm thinking it is probably the "Profile on Print" booklet issued 1999. (DX 22)
SG 2077 which appears on page 350 of the 2017 concise.
A pane of 4 with margins all round, die cut perfs.
Thanks, sheepshanks! I will check and post scan tomorrow AM. Stockbooks and Concise are in bedroom with the sleeping wife...best not to wake a sleeping bear while rummaging for stamps!

re: Silly Question, Embossed NVI Sheet
From the Complete Deegam Machin Handbook; Embossed 1st NVI 1999

Printed by Walsall and issued 16 February 1999 in the `Profile on Print’ prestige
book. Plate numbers for the value and phosphor (which were printed in lithography)
are unknown. The A2B phosphor was printed over the background around the
