Canada #929i. VF mint NH matched set of plate blocks of the "brown background" variety of the 1983 issue 48c "Cradle" medium-value definitive. Previously thought to be a magenta missing colour error, the colour variety is due to an anomaly in the ink used by the printer. With an upper right plate #2 block of the true colour for comparison. 2017 Unitrade.

Canada #1250ii, 1250a. The whole story of the poor production quality plagued 1989 issue 38c "Canadian Infantry Regiments" commemoratives as laid out in the original documentation, stamps and packaging as received by the consignor. The lot incudes a rare lower right position inscription block of four, a sealed matched set of blank corners (without inscriptions), the original Canada Post order receipt and a generic letter of apology and explanation telling the collector why they were shorting him three inscription blocks of the four that he had originally ordered (the vast majority of these stamps were recalled due to very poor printing quality). A great potential mini multi-page exhibit. 2017 Unitrade.

Venezuela - ABNC SPECIMEN MONSTER LOT. Archival quality (after all, they did come from the American Bank Note Company archives) 1890s to 1950s period mini-collection of "SPECIMEN" overprinted and security punch-holed stamps, all neatly organized, identified and stored in a small high quality stockbook. This group was purchased back in the early 1990s by Kasimir Bileski at the famous ABNC Archives sales, who then sorted, researched and marketed the material. 828 stamps total, including regular, "Back of the Book" and fiscal issues. While there at first appears to be some duplication, the sets and singles have been identified for the different ABNC printing orders that they come from. The lot includes Bileski's extensive original detailed and informative sales blurbs noting that very few of some of the sets of these postal and fiscal issue Specimens and proofs exist. The Venezuela group was the most extensive offering of Latin American material that Bileski put together. Original 1994 Bileski retail price for this lot.
