Specialized Christmas Issue Collections. Kasimir Bileski, the Godfather of Canadian stamp marketing, tended to go a bit "off the rails" when it came to Christmas issues. Perhaps it was the wealth of formats (sheets, miniature panes and booklets) or the other varieties (Winnipeg or General tagging, paper fluorescence etc…) that caused hiim to go into marketing overdrive. Whatever the cause, here we have a group of Bileski prepared groups, all with or still in the original Bileski packaging. The lot includes Christmas issues from 1964, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969 and finally (in all its crowning glory!) the se-tenant issues of 1970. The material includes comprehensive offerings of plate blocks, corner blocks, booklet panes (both left and right tab) and miniature panes (tagged and regular), se-tenant strips and more. The stamps are all either Very Fine mint Never Hinged or with Winnipeg First Day CDS postmarks. This entire group would have originally (over 50 years ago) cost several hundred dollars. Here's your chance to acquire, break down and analyze content and marketing strategy from the philatelic heyday of the "Wizard of Winnipeg"! Estimate =
