82 Canada #572ii. Scarce VF MNH full "field stock" pane of 50 of the 1974 issue 8c Pacific Coast Indians (with blank corners, as always found), showing the completely "missing bird on the totem" error at position 28 (the centre stamp in the right half block of 25). Small tear in selvedge to left of position 41 noted, not affecting any stamps, otherwise a superb positional showpiece of a popular modern error. 2018 Unitrade. $268.40 $75.00
83 Canada #655. VARIETY. VF MNH lower part pane of 15 of the 1974 issue 8c William Hamilton Merritt commemorative, with all the stamps in the block showing the Unitrade and Darnell listed "Hair over Barn" variety as well as having a lovely pre-printing paper fold along the lower row, most noticeably seen across Merritt's face at positions 46 and 47.

85 Canada #1176a. VF MNH full sheet of 50 (with full inscriptions) of the 1990 issue 63c Harbour Porpoise on Peterborough paper in the scarce perf 13.1 x 13.1. The 1988-1990 "Mammal" definitive issue, with all the varieties and errors, is becoming a very popular area for modern collectors. 2018 Unitrade. $466.00 $42.00
86 Canada #1180ci. VF used example of the 1990 issue 80c "Peary Caribou", missing the dark blue at top and violet background. Looks OK but sold "as is". A MNH stamp with full colour included for comparison. 2018 Unitrade. $2,007.50 $130.00
87 Canada #1250ii. Rare VF MNH example of the 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. 2018 Unitrade. $250.00 $60.00

90 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 $240.00
91 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 $120.00
92 Canada #2129iii, 2130iii, 2131iii.

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 $110.00
93 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 $110.00

96 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 $75.00
97 Canada #C4. F-VF MNH block of four of the 1932 issue 6c Ottawa Conference commemorative overprint and surcharge on the 5c olive brown Mercury airmail. 2019 Scott US$280.00= $364.00 $42.00

99 Canada #E4. Perfectly centered VF MNH example of the 1930 issue 20c henna brown "TWENTY CENTS" Special Delivery stamp.

Scott US$125.00= $162.50 $85.00
