Scarce blocks, listed in many catalogues and illustrated in many albums. The 5c block shows only a very faint "split dot" version of the "M.A" variety (#522iii), unlike any example of this variety I've seen to date, either an early state of this plate flaw or a later attempted correction (removal) of the dot. The 6c block is WITHOUT the "scratch through window" variety (much scarcer than a block with the variety and worth a 50% premium as such). Estimate $100.00 $17.00

73 Canada #587. DRAMATIC MIS-PERF. VF mint LH/NH showpiece lower right corner block of 4 of the 1973 issue 2c green Laurier definitive, dramatically mis-perforated vertically, causing the "CANADA 2" to be at the top instead of the bottom.

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
78 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.

80 Canada #2072/2378. VF mint NH selection of 224 different 2004-2010 period issues, all from various quarterly packs so the lot includes the premium die-cut singles, blocks and strips that cannot be purchased at postal counters.
