		Harkening once more to the BC example, one oft forgotten fact is that the semipostal BC stamp was, in fact, predated by a Breast Cancer Awareness stamp (a woman viewed in profile and from the back along w/ the pink ribbon logo).
		That BC Awareness Stamp was in 1993 and was, at the time, a wee bit controversial in some circles but it seemed to resonate w/ the public at large as reflected in good sales, and thus paved the way for the Semipostal BC five years later.
