Errors, freaks and oddities by the hundred! This holding of misperfs, miscuts, ink smears, colour shifts (which make the stamps look fuzzy), "gutter snipes", plus what we believe are tagging or paper varieties has some very eye-catching items as well as some that need research (as the collector didn’t leave notes about some of the varieties). A number have been laid out in a stockbook (which photograph well), but there is a secondary larger pile of duplicates and items that by their packaging and jumbled nature won’t photograph well. About 95% are mint Never Hinged, with the overall condition being well above avergae. Needless to say, this will help add some appeal to any US collection or lend itself well to be broken apart by the online or show dealer. We estimate the original owner probably paid over US$2,000 for this material. Estimate =
