The program includes information about the World Philatelic Youth Exhibiton, philatelic articles and a list of exhibitors. The souvenir sheet alone is scarce, and is rarely seen coupled with the program. Also of note is the fact that this sheet is on Harrison Paper, a different stock than the unsigned sheet (Coated Papers). 2018 Unitrade. $125.00 $60.00
89 Canada #1535ii. VF MNH example of the unissued 90c 1994 Xmas "Carolling". This stamp was prepared for use in anticipation of a rate change that never came about. A few of these 90c values got out accidentally. Only an estimated 1,000 examples were "released". 2018 Unitrade. $600.00 $230.00
90 Canada #BK10b. ENGLISH. Rare example of the 1923 issue GeoV Admiral booklet, containing one pane of four of each of #105a (1c yellow), #107b (2c green) and #109a (3c carmine).

97 Canada - 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 $140.00
98 Canada #CL40h. VF mint NH block of four of the 1927 issue Western Canada Airways (10c) black with pink background semi-official airmail, all four stamps with the Unitrade listed "plane's skis touching sun" variety.

Owner's Unitrade. $1,082.00 $220.00
