68 Canada #422iv. VARIETY. VF MNH example of the double printing of the flowers and on the scarce Fluorescent paper, 5c Manitoba Provincial Flowers and Coats of Arms issue. The double printing is distinct but more closely spaced than illustrated in Unitrade.

Organized into four groups: the basic plate blocks on DF paper (all different with multiple plates of most values); mostly matched sets of blocks on LF paper; GT2 tagged issues with PVA gum (with a "Plastic Flow" variety noted on #463pi); and precancels in singles, blocks of 4 and warning strips of 20. A philatelic time capsule back to when current and recent issues were heavily marketed, total original 1970s retail price $1,200. 2018 Unitrade. $1,703.00 $425.00
71 Canada #502/694. VF MNH collection of 1969-1976 period matched sets of plate blocks in a 3-ring Canada Plate Block album with slipcase, largely complete for the era, only missing a very few.

73 Canada #621-T1c. VF MNH matched set of plate #1 blocks of the 15c gold 1973 Royal Visit issue, virtually UNTAGGED in error. At first glance looks untagged but upon very close inspection there are very small particles of tagging that can be detected. Also of interest is a vertical background printing smear on the left hand stamps of the right blocks; an untagged sheet of 25 with printing smudge on the fourth column is listed in Robin Harris' Adminware database as tagging error T1c with a retail price of $2,000. 2018 Unitrade (for untagged). $1,600.00 $190.00
74 Canada #704a. VF mint NH example of the 1977 issue 25c QEII Silver Jubilee Commemorative with the "Missing Silver" error. A key modern error. 2018 Unitrade. $1,500.00 $325.00
75 Canada #929i, 929. VF mint NH matched set of plate blocks of the Unitrade listed "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 actually due to an anomaly in the ink used by the printer. A very distinctive error of colour. The lot also includes one VF mint NH plate block the true colour for conclusive comparison. 2018 Unitrade. $1,005.00 $160.00
76 Canada #1155-1161, 1170-1179. VF mint NH matched sets of plate blocks of the basic 1987 "Mammal" definitive issues, 1c to 78c values, all still sealed in the Post Office packaging. A popular series, getting harder and harder to find. 2018 Unitrade. $379.00 $110.00
77 Canada #1172Ag. VF MNH full sheet of 50 (with full inscriptions) of the 1990 issue 46c Wolverine in the scarce perf 14.4 x 13.8. The Mammal definitive issue is becoming more popular with every passing year and sheets are becoming very hard to find. 2018 Unitrade. $378.00 $55.00
78 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. 2018 Unitrade. $400.00 $55.00

VF mint NH full sheet of 50 (with full inscriptions) of the 86c Bartlett Pear Fruit Tree definitive, the scarce January 7th 1994 Canadian Bank Note Co printing on Harrison paper, perf 13.1 x 13.1.

80 Canada #1534ii. VF mint NH lower left position 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 inscription block. 2018 Unitrade. $950.00 $210.00
81 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 $230.00
82 Canada #1630ai. VF MNH investment lot of 50 of the 1997 Year of the Ox souvenir sheet of two x 45c Lunar New Year stamps with the additional limited edition "Hong Kong 97" logo printed in lower right corner of the sheet. This is the scarcest (and first) Lunar New Year souvenir sheet. Excellent investment opportunity. 2018 Unitrade. $500.00 $75.00
83 Canada #1812-1834. The 1999-2000 Millennium miniature sheet set of 17 panes, both VF mint NH and on Canada Post First Day Covers. Total face value of all the mint stamps is $31.28. Becoming an increasingly difficult group to assemble, particularly on FDC. 2018 Unitrade. $238.00 $60.00
84 Canada #2129iii, 2130iii, 2131iii. VF MNH lot of 50 sets of the high value 2005-2006 Flower definitive coils, all die cut singles from Quarterly Packs/Annual Collections with a distinctive serpentine die cut measuring 6.45-7.05 horizontally produced using a 6x6, 36-subject die cutting mat. Lot consists of 50 of each of the 89c Yellow Lady’s Slipper, $1.05 Pink Fairy Slipper and $1.49 Himalayan Blue Poppy. Overlooked at first by collectors and most catalogues, these "sleeper" die cuts are sure to be much needed varieties in the future. The total face value as usable postage is $171.50. 2018 Unitrade. $1,000.00 $130.00
85 Canada #2299f, 2305f, 2366c. Exceptional investment opportunity consisting of ten complete VF MNH complete sets (all still sealed in the original souvenir packs) of the limited edition gold, silver and bronze "Vancouver 2010" overprints in the selvedge of three different Olympic souvenir sheets. A real sleeper set, probably the scarcest of all the Canada 2010 Olympic philatelic issues. Sure to increase in value due to the international appeal of Olympic topicals. 2018 Unitrade. $650.00 $130.00
86 Canada #BK43b (English). Top quality VF investment lot of ten 1950 issue GeoVI "chewing gum" format booklets, each booklet containing one pane of 3 of each 1c green (#284a), 3c rose (#286a) and 4c dark carmine (#287a).

87 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
88 Canada - Recalled Hanukkah Booklets. 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. Estimate $150.00 $70.00
89 Canada #E2a. Fresh and exceptionally well centered VF mint NH example of the scarce 41mm wide wet printing (scarlet shade) of the 1922 issue 20c Special Delivery stamp.

92 Canada #F3. Fresh and Fine mint no gum example of the 1876 issue 8c blue Registration stamp. Sound, rare and attractive. 2019 Scott US$600.00= $780.00 $130.00
93 Canada #FWH17, FWH22. VF mint NH corner inscription blocks of four of the 2001 ($8.50 Harlequin Duck) and 2005 ($8.50 Harlequin Ducks) Federal Wildlife Habitat Conservation stamps. These more recent issues are much harder to find than the older issues and this scarcity is reflected in the higher catalogue values of the blocks. 2018 Unitrade. $450.00 $55.00
94 Canada #J13. VF MNH upper right corner sheet margin block of four of the 1933 issue 4c dark violet postage due. Great colour, exceptional centering, perfect gum. 2018 Unitrade. $200.00 $50.00

99 Canada #O38a. VF mint NH matched set of plate #1 plate blocks of the 50c Textiles, all with the scarce 1961-1962 "Flying G" type official overprint. 2018 Unitrade. $280.00 $55.00

103 Canada #QW1-QW10 (FFQ #DQ1-DQ10). The first ten years of the Unitrade, Darnell and Van Dam catalogue listed Quebec Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamps, all VF mint intact booklets. Each pane of one is a miniature work of wildlife art. The #QW1 is the hardest Quebec "Duck" stamp to acquire. 2018 Unitrade. $305.00 $55.00
104 Canada - Annual Collections for 1974, 1975 and 1976 plus Thematic Collection #7. Trio of early Canada Post issued yearbooks and the 1972-1974 definitive collection (Thematic Collection #7).

Other sheets may have minor varieties for papers, gums or plate flaws but the lot has been conservatively valued for the face value but is worth more. Total face value $143.12 $140.00
110 Canada - Railway/Masonic Thematic Showpiece. Exceptional and unusual (possibly unique?) 1876 envelope and contents. The envelope is a #10 sized envelope, single franked with a 1c Small Queen, mailed from Hamilton to Nobleton Ontario. The sender was J.J. Mason, Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of A. F. & A.

Only 8,888 of these folders were produced, with many already broken up for the imperforate sheet contained in the collection. The imperforate sheet alone regularly sells for over $150.00 in our bidboard and other auctions. Estimate $200.00 $110.00
112 Canada Precancels #1-91-I. Spectacularly well centered VF block of four of the 5c blue on bluish paper 1903-1908 EdwardVII issue with INVERTED "VICTORIA BC" precancel. A marvelous and early BC precancel showpiece. Valued as four singles but worth a premium. 7th edition Standard Precancel Catalogue. $160.00 $250.00
113 Canada Supplies - "Nearly new" two volume Canada dark red Lindner album set (including matching slipcases) with the new style printed pages going up to 1978, plus a couple of empty red Lighthouse springback binders with slipcases (not in pristine shape but will fit Lindner pages) and two large format sheet files (one file containing a sheet of 8c Kreighoff and some Czech sheets). The Lindner albums alone retail new for over $250.00. Estimate $150.00 $95.00
114 Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #2. Well centered used example of the 1860 issue 2½p dull rose Victoria, perf 14 x 14. A couple of nibbled perfs, otherwise sound. "1" numeral cancel in black (New Westminster). 2019 Scott US$240.00= $312.00 $180.00
115 Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #8. Sound and Fine used wing margin example of the 1867 issue 2 CENTS surcharge on 3p brown "Seal of BC", perf 14 x 14. "35" numeral cancel in black (Victoria). 2019 Scott US$150.00= $195.00 $44.00
116 Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #9. Used example of the 5c on 3p perf 14 x 14 bright red "Seal of BC" 1869 issue with light blue (NELSON) cancel. Significant horizontal perf shift (showing part of the adjacent stamp at left). An interesting shift, proving that the 3p stamp was overprinted "5. CENTS. 5" prior to perforating. 2019 Scott US$250.00= $325.00 $150.00
117 Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #11. Used example of the 1869 issue 25 cents on 3p orange "Seal of BC", perf 14 x 14. Sock on the nose "10" numeral cancel in black (William's Creek). A few irregular corner perfs at upper corners noted for the record. 2019 Scott US$325.00= $422.50 $160.00
118 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #1. Fresh and VF mint no gum example of the 1857 "first issue" 1p brown violet imperf on wove paper with mesh. Four full margins. A lovely start to a collection of Canada's newest Province. 2019 Scott US$125.00= $162.50 $85.00
119 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #26. Sound and Fine mint no gum example of the 1868 issue 5c black Harp Seal on thin crisp paper. This is a key stamp in this series. 2019 Scott US$350.00= $455.00 $65.00
120 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #33. Fresh and Fine centered mint no gum example of the scarce 1870 issue 3c vermilion Victoria. Rich deep colour. Small tear in right margin noted for the record. 2019 Scott US$400.00= $520.00 $30.00
121 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland #60i. Exceptionally well centered and VF Jumbo margin mint no gum example of the 1890 issue 3c slate Victoria, on red tinted paper. This was caused by shipwreck seawater soaking the shipment of stamps while on the way to delivery in Newfoundland, the red colouring from the packaging staining the stamps. Needless to say, these almost always come no gum (sometimes traces of OG are found). 2018 Unitrade lists this stamp at $75.00 but it is actually much scarcer (especially in this grade) than the catalogue value would suggest. Estimate $150.00 $170.00
122 Canadian Provinces - Newfoundland Covers - Clean and useful group of 32 covers, 1900 to 1940s period usages, with illustrated commercial corners, different rates and cancel types. Retail total $497.00 $190.00

The second collection, also 1918 to 1973 contains over 170 different stamps on stockpages and fits nicely with the other collection (2015 Scott US$48.90). Owner's 2015 US$212.50= $253.50 $55.00
125 Denmark #28/795. Dealer red box containing 1,157 mint and used stamps (singles and sets), 455 different. All identified, catalogued and priced in #102 style dealer sales cards. The listed prices on each card have been taken from an older catalogue and have not been updated in years. While the odd fault is to be expected, the vast majority are sound, attractive and useful stamps. Total listed value $1,795.00 $210.00
126 Estonia - Pernau Michel #1-10. German WWII Occupation Pernau Overprints on Russian stamps. Fourteen different Michel listed issues, including mint, used, perf, imperf and invert material plus one stamp used on wrapper. From an old Estonian estate.

128 Faroe Islands #94a/388a. Twenty complete booklets (panes a mix of mint and used). Also includes an earlier stamp folder (pre-booklet). A pretty lot with bird, animal, flower and scenery topicals. 1975-2000 period issues. 2019 Scott US$267.00= $347.10 $42.00
129 France #243/2379. Green Scott Specialty Album (rectangular posts) with pages from 1849-1992 – stamps start from 1927 to 1993. A total of 1,622 stamps, 5 souvenir sheets and 1 booklet. All mint (MNH or MH) and a beautiful lot. Album is in great condition and so are the stamps. A marvelous start for someone who wants to collect these mostly engraved and beautifully designed issues. See scanned list. 2019 Scott $1,647.80= $2,142.14 $240.00
130 French Polynesia and Indonesia - Combined consignment of one page of mint (MH/NH) French Polynesia (#192, 196-197, 245-246 - catalogue value US$207.85) and Indonesia collection of stamp singles, blocks, strips, souvenir sheets and covers (cat.

133 Germany #15/1332, B102a. Neatly mounted and annotated mostly used collection of 1,123 stamps and 7 souvenir sheets, 1872-1980 period issues. While there are no real "bullets" in this lot, there are an attractive number of complete sets and high-quality items. See the inventory for list of better items. 2019 Scott US$1,204.75= $1,566.18 $60.00
134 Germany #49, 51. Post Office fresh, mint NH examples of the 1889 to 1900 period 20pf and 50pf "Imperial Eagle" issues. Both valued as the least expensive shades (but could be the better types). Pristine and unblemished original gum. 2018 Scott Classic US$167.50= $217.75 $70.00
135 Germany #B5/B282. Moderately comprehensive run of the semi-postals issued between 1923 and 1944. All fresh and F/VF mint Hinged or used, neatly arranged on the original quadrille album pages. 81 different stamps total. While there is no toning noted, a number of the stamps in this lot have adhered to the pages due to storage in humid conditions. Many of the stuck down mint stamps could be removed from the pages by rolling each page on a table edge or by soaking them off (removing the gum completely). 2018 Scott US$773.45= $1,005.49 $60.00
136 Germany #C57-C58. Mint NH examples of the 1936 issue 50pf dark blue and 75pf dull green "Hindenburg" airmails, in corner blocks of four and singles. The gum is unblemished and undisturbed, which is scarce but "bad news" because the gum contains a good amount of sulfuric acid which eventually destroys the paper. These are already beginning to show signs of acidification and there is some minor perf separation. Washing off the gum will neutralize the problem. 2019 Scott for Mint no Gum $195.00= $253.50 $36.00
137 Germany - Definitives and Officials. Blue stockbook containing hundreds of nicely organized duplicated mint and used 19th to mid-20th century definitives and Officials, all identified and valued by 2006 Michel catalogue.

138 Germany - Mint and used singles and sets, 6 First Day Sheets (ersttagsblatten), 2 First Day Covers and 12 souvenir sheets. A mix of Third Reich and post-war Germany with some Berlin and one DDR "fairy tale" miniature pane. MH/MNH and used. 2019 Scott US$300.30= $390.39 $85.00
139 Germany/Austria Covers - Aesthetically pleasing, VF and varied selection of 29 covers and cards, ranging from early 20th century Bavarian commercial rate covers to a 1936 Olympic Games commemorative cover to various post-WWII Soviet Zone covers and later DDR. Also included in the lot are two Michel and Netto catalogue listed "Bird" 60g/2sch airmail souvenir sheets on special 1950 Salzburg to Brussels flight covers. Take a good look. Estimate $200.00 $160.00
140 Great Britain #1, 5, 6, 109. Decent looking but all faulty used quartet of 1840 to 1884 high value Classics. The #1 has a nick out of the right side, the #5 and #6 both have the commonly occurring paper splits along the vertical silk thread lines and the Sock on the Nose CDS cancelled #109 has a tear at lower right. Huge catalogue value and actually not an unattractive group. 2018 Scott Classic US$3,270.00= $4,251.00 $150.00
141 Great Britain #4/290. Massively valuable used collection of Victoria to George V issues neatly laid out on 17 double sided Vario pages. Heavier duplication in the "Kings" period. Many individually valuable stamps including better plates. The odd small fault noted. 2018 Scott US$7,200.00= $9,360.00 $210.00
142 Great Britain #4/125. All used collection of 1841 to 1900 period all Queen Victoria issues, all mounted on nicely designed computer generated pages. Remaindered from a more comprehensive collection but there are still a good number of useful and valuable individual items in the lot. Take a good look at the scans to appreciate the range of material and to read the consignor's pencil notes pertaining to plates and varieties. Expect a few faults in the group as well as some minor 19th century "gems". Estimate $250.00 $400.00
143 Great Britain #94, 95, 96, 109. Pretty showing of four 1883-1884 Queen Victoria used stamps. The 2sh6p lilac is a perfin and the 10sh ultra has a "Telegraphs" cancel. 2019 Scott US$1,015.00= $1,319.50 $85.00
144 Great Britain #98-105, 107. Nearly complete used 1883-1884 set (missing only the 9p value), all superior quality lightly cancelled examples with much fresher than usual colours. The #99 is a private perfin. Many of the values still have vestiges of the original envelopes on the back, which means that they have never been soaked (thus the full original colour). 2019 Scott US$1,207.00= $1,569.10 $85.00
145 Great Britain #127/951. All used 1901 to 1981 period collection of EdwardVII, GeoV, EdwardVIII, GeoVI and QEII issues, all laid out on nicely designed computer designed pages. The EdwardVII issues go up to the 2sh6p value, the GeoV issues go up to the 10sh value, the GeoVI issues go up to the £1.00 value and the QEII issues go up to the £1.00.
