Robin Harris' Wilding Definitive handbook the highest fluorescence listed for the 4c violet is HF and these blocks are just a shade less bright than that and the companion lot of #338iii. The fluorescence levels on this issue are notoriously difficult to detect as this was a period of transition to using fluorescent printing papers. 2019 Unitrade. $500.00 $230.00

82 Canada #BK686. 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
83 Canada #E3-E11. All fresh, sound and pristine mint NH selection of nine different 1927 to 1946 period Special Delivery issues. The 1935 to 1946 period stamps are particularly nice. Missing only the two earlies to be a complete run. 2019 Scott US$411.25= $534.63 $70.00
84 Canada #F1c. IMPERFORATE SINGLE. VF used upper left corner IMPERFORATE SINGLE example of the 2c vermilion Registration stamp. No "favour" imperforates of the 2c were produced (unlike the 5c and 8c values) and only one used imperforate pair is recorded. The colour, paper and cancel are consistent with the printing and time period associated with known imperforate pair. The margins at left and top are large enough to validate the imperf theory. Looks OK but still sold "as is". Valued as ½ the value of an imperf pair. 2019 Unitrade. $2,000.00 $130.00
85 Canada #F2. F/VF mint OG example of the 5c dark green registration stamp. The stamp is probably NH but there are some gum irregularities so the stamp is valued as Hinged. 2019 Scott US$140.00= $182.00 $85.00
