A spectacular positional piece. 2018 Unitrade. $1,250.00 $425.00
88 Canada #723A. VF mint NH example of the extremely rare (only 150 known) "Ghost Town" brown inscriptions omitted variety of the 1978 issue 50c Prairie Street Scene medium value "Street" definitive. One of the more striking missing colour errors. 2018 Unitrade. $3,000.00 $725.00
89 Canada #790. TAGGING ERROR T8. VF MNH example of the rare 3-bar tagging error on the 17c green Parliament definitive issue, consisting of regular GT2 tagging at sides plus an additional full vertical bar down centre cutting through "Ca" of "Canada". Only one sheet of 100 of this error reported. Unlisted as a single in the Adminware database. Estimate $100.00 $48.00

92 Canada #1194Bf. FORGERY. Counterfeit imperforate full mint NH sheet of 110 of the 1990 issue 39c dark violet Flag coil. This fake was produced in Montreal back in the early 1990s with the intention of defrauding the post office but the ring was broken up by the RCMP before production was complete. A few sheets and strips of these forgeries ended up on the philatelic market a short while later. A modern Canadian faux-philatelic conversation piece! Estimate $500.00 $48.00
93 Canada #1283a-1286b. Eight complete sets of all four 1990 issue Petro Canada 39c "Majestic Forests" mini-panes of four, all VF MNH. These panes were produced as a special promotion for Petro Canada. Getting hard to find, especially when still in the original envelopes and with the special return post card as are these. 2018 Unitrade. $400.00 $65.00
94 Canada #1431a. Mini-investment lot of twelve MNH 1992 issue Canada Day se-tenant panes of 12 x 42c stamps plus 13 labels. Total face value of the sheets is $60.48 but these wholesale for considerably higher than face value. Noted the odd small edge fault on a couple of sheets. 2018 Unitrade. $300.00 $55.00
95 Canada #1534ii. VF mint NH lower left corner inscription block of four of the unissued 1992 Xmas 52c rate stamp. This stamp was produced for a proposed rate change that was postponed until a later date. A few of these 52c stamps somehow got out of the post office and into private hands. A very rare modern variety block. 2018 Unitrade. $950.00 $325.00
96 Canada #1534ii, 1535ii. The rare and unissued 52c and 90c value 1994 Xmas proposed and rejected rate changes, both VF MNH. Fewer than 1,000 examples of the 90c stamp exist. The Post Office intended to increase the postal rates from 50c and 88c but changed their minds at the last minute. Somehow a few of these stamps made it onto the market. Oops! A famous modern "administrative" error. 2018 Unitrade. $800.00 $250.00
97 Canada #1696a. VF MNH investment lot of eight full sheetlets of the 1998 issue 45c ATM stamp. This is the first of the two experimental panes (the Post Office also issued a 46c later in the year). The sheetlet is the exact same size as a Canadian banknote. A short lived experiment. Total face value of the panes is $64.80. Difficult sheets to acquire. 2018 Unitrade. $280.00 $55.00
98 Canada #1812-1814, 1812i-1814i, 1818-1836, TC88, UX125.

Total face value of all the stamps is $72.36 (plus a theoretical $2.50 for the postcard). Becoming an increasingly difficult group to assemble, let alone complete as comprehensively as this. All Unitrade listed as distinctly individual items. 2018 Unitrade. $324.50 $90.00
99 Canada #1991C-1991D. Two complete 2003 issue Canada-Alaska Cruise Ship Sheets. Both Post Office fresh and VF MNH. 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. We rarely find these sheets in collections we handle. 2018 Unitrade. $200.00 $80.00
100 Canada #BK5d. ENGLISH. Complete and intact pristine condition English language booklet with small type II text, containing two fresh and VF panes of the 2c carmine KGV Admiral (#106a).

102 Canada #BK10b. The last Admiral booklet issue (December 1923), containing one pane of 4 plus 2 labels of each of the 1c yellow (105a), 2c green (107b) and 3c carmine (109a), all Fine centered. The interleaving has large cap slogans. The covers are unbent but have erased pencil notations. No premiums added. 2018 Unitrade. $500.00 $75.00
103 Canada #BK623 (x 2). Hoodoos Booklets. Two 2015 issue UNESCO World Heritage Sites Booklets. Both in VF mint condition. These examples of the rare recalled $7.20 self-adhesive booklet of six x $1.20 stamps each include two of the mis-identified "Hoodoos" stamps. Withdrawn from post offices in a panic by Canada Post, not many reached private hands. This booklet duo will be perfect for exhibition and display, as the wrong "Hoodoo" is also illustrated on the booklet cover. Estimate $150.00 $65.00
104 Canada - Two VF mint intact examples of the extremely scarce recalled 2017 Hanukkah self-adhesive "P" booklets of 10. These booklets were recalled by Canada Post within hours of issuance, with severe consequences threatened for any post office or outlet disobeying the order. These booklets are proving to be the scarcest recalls in recent Canadian philatelic history. The problem was the use of the Star of David as a motif, on both the front cover and on the "colour key" in the lower right corner of the pane. Note that one booklet has horizontal bend. Estimate $150.00 $85.00
105 Canada #C3i. Fresh and VF MNH part inscription upper sheet margin example of the 6c on 5c 1932 issue airmail, showing the "Swollen Breast" constant plate flaw (plate #2 UR, position 4). 2018 Unitrade. $240.00 $110.00

107 Canada #E2a. Fresh and Fine mint VERY Lightly Hinged example of the scarce 41mm wide wet printing (scarlet shade) of the 1922 issue 20c Special Delivery stamp. Much, much harder to find than the 42½ mm dry printing type. 2018 Scott Classic US$180.00= $234.00 $26.00
108 Canada #E5. Perfectly centered and fresh VF MNH example of the 1932 issue 20c henna brown redesigned bilingual "CENTS" Special Delivery stamp. Unitrade is $200.00 for VF MNH. Very hard to find this well centered. 2019 Scott US$115.00= $149.50 $44.00

113 Canada #O47. PAWNBROKER Variety. VF mint NH block of 9 of the 1963 issue 2c green QEII Cameo with "G" Official overprint.
