73 Canada #647a-T1. UNTAGGED ERROR. VF MNH lower right blank corner block of 4 of the 1974 "Keep Fit" Winter Sports COJO Olympic issue, untagged error. Although only one sheet was reported, this block came from the Mike Painter collection where he wrote the following: "My father bought some of this issue at the Okanagan Mission, BC Post Office in 1974. He saved the corner block for me and used the rest as postage including at least four letters to me but I didn't examine them closely until after my father's death in 1980. Since the sheet Ken Rose reported wasn't from Okanagan Mission, I assume my father got all or part of a second sheet from that office." A modern rarity with very few mint untagged corner or inscription blocks reported.

VF mint NH complete set of all seventeen December 1999 to March 2000 issue Millennium panes of four plus the 42c, 55c and 95c panes of one issued in October 1999.

Total face value of the mint stamps in this lot is $33.24. Getting hard to find. 2018 Unitrade. $175.50 $55.00
80 Canada #1838, 1885, 1935, 1971-1972, 2017-2018, 2085-2086. Complete run of all the 2000-2005 NHL All Stars hockey sheets including the three self-adhesive miniature booklet panes. All VF MNH.

VF mint NH condition example of the rare recalled $8.40 souvenir sheet of five, including one misidentified "Hoodoo" stamp. The entire printing was withdrawn from post offices in a panic by Canada Post.

Estimate $150.00 $150.00

87 Canada #CL2. Two VF mint NH panes of two of the 1924 "Second Issue" 25c green Laurentide Air Service semi-official airmail, still housed in the original booklet covers (2nd printing with back cover printed). Valued as two mint NH panes only. 2019 Unitrade. $975.00 $525.00
