Bermuda #123/128b. Calling all King George VI "Keyplate" specialists. This mint accumulation has been catalogued as the lowest price by perforation (either p.13 or p.14). However, a quick glance indicates that there are shade variants here that could benefit some work through Stanley Gibbons. A number are never hinged, most of the rest are lightly hinged and only a couple have minor remnants. Some come from wartime printings which have resulted in acidification of the gum (not "tropical staining"). Well centered and lovely. 2024 Scott US$1001.00 =

Bermuda #123-128. A lovely VF mint Lightly Hinged selection of the George VI "Key Plate" high-values, representing all the values of this design. All valued as the basic stamp / shade in Scott Catalogue, so plenty of upside when compared to the Gibbons catalogue which breaks down this popular issue into a more precise listing for shades, perfs and printings. 2025 Scott US$225.00 =

Bermuda #124a/127a. Two mint never hinged blocks of King George VI "Keyplate" 2/6 and 12/6 values, both from the wartime printings which have resulted attractive stamps, but acidified gum (it isn’t tropical staining). The 2/6 has edge selvedge, with a bit of separation. Still an amazing issue after 80+ years. Only catalogued as Hinged, so plenty of upside here. 2024 Scott US$544.00 =
