VF mint NH example of the 1965 issue 5c Prairie Crocus commemorative showing the Unitrade listed "double print of the purple flowers" and also printed on the Unitrade-listed FLUORESCENT PAPER (#422i), with a single stamp on regular paper included for comparison. This paper & plate variety combination is presently unlisted in Unitrade. If the "Dot on crocus" pricing is any indication, the fluorescent paper represents a multiplying factor of 5 for the value – giving this exceptional single a theoretical catalogue value of $2,500. Estimate $500.00 $250.00
80 Canada #422iv. VF mint NH example of the 1965 issue 5c "Prairie Crocus" showing the "double print of the purple flowers" error.

87 Canada #1250ii. Rare lower left position inscription block of four of the 1989 issue 38c Regiments commemorative. The vast majority of these stamps were recalled due to very poor printing quality. 2017 Unitrade. $250.00 $100.00

These very limited edition promotional "Picture Postage®" stamps were only issued for use on the 2003 season Alaska route cruise ships and are much scarcer than the Unitrade catalogue value would suggest. The 10 undenominated se-tenant stamps in each sheet were (and still are) valid for use as first-class international letter mail. The official printing figures total 50,000 but many were probably still unsold at the end of the cruising season and destroyed.

A total of 11,000 Villeneuve OFDCs were originally printed and issued on May 15th but the vast majority were recalled within days, with very few, if any, reaching postal counters.
