Bid
1 Australian States - Queensland #2. Very rare sound and Fine "pièce de résistance" used pair of the 1860 issue 2p deep blue imperf "Chalon Head", watermark 5 (small star). Any multiples of this stamp are rarities of the highest order. Conservatively valued as two used singles but worth considerably more as a used pair. 2020 Scott US$4,500.00= $5,850.00 $750.00
2 Australian States - Queensland #77. Fresh and Fine mint OG Hinged example of the 1882 issue 10 shilling brown, wmk 68 (crown and narrow Q) twice sideways. A very respectable early high value. 2020 Scott US$275.00= $357.50 $65.00

4 Australian States - Tasmania #2/32. Fourteen different used "Chalon Heads", all 1853 to 1864 period issues. All identified and valued by the consignor.

5 Austria - Extensive REFERENCE LITERATURE: 1976 Handbook in German: "SPEZIALKATALOG FUR DIE I.

Other than last book, they are generally fine condition. These came in from a dealer who had purchased a world collection – he added some Austrian stamps from another collection as these stamps did not come with the reference material - approx. 330 stamps, some on album pages (collection) and some in plastic pockets (accumulation). Some more modern into the 2003 era including a few S/S, these latter all MNH. Field is outside his knowledge base – stamps appear all to be cheap but possibly cancels in the used? Unchecked by us.

All the stamps are on White Ace album pages, in old style hingeless "wraparound" mounts.

The varieties are on the top stamps in two different self-adhesive coil strips of four. They were created when the gold foil rolls ran out during printing. Much more eye-catching than the much more common "Bullet hole" variety (Unitrade #1697i). Estimate $100.00 $220.00
62 Canada #1812-1814, 1812i-1814i, 1818-1836, TC88, UX125.

65 Canada #2045i-2048i. Complete set of 2004 "Write Me, Ring Me" issues consisting of four different special cards, each containing souvenir sheet of 2 stamps and a phone card good for 15 minutes. There were only slightly more than 10,000 complete sets of these folders issued in total. Many of the butterfly and dog thematics have since been gobbled up by the topical market. Look for sets to increase greatly in price in the next few years. All still sealed in the original Canada Post packaging. 2019 Unitrade. $160.00 $70.00
66 Canada #2299f, 2305f, 2366c. Five complete VF MNH complete sets (still sealed in the original souvenir packs) of the limited edition gold, silver and bronze "Vancouver 2010" overprints in the selvedge of three different Olympic souvenir sheets.

Sure to increase in value due to the international appeal of Olympic topicals. 2019 Unitrade. $325.00 $70.00
67 Canada #2642ii. VF mint NH 2013 issue "Chinatown Gates" IMPERFORATE souvenir sheet of 8. This special and limited edition sheet was only available in the "Chinatown Gates Collection" and was overlooked as a major modern variety by most collectors. Only 8,888 issued. A real "sleeper" item, undervalued in Unitrade. Normal sheet included for comparison. Note that this imperforate variety ALWAYS sells for close to (and sometimes over) full catalogue. 2019 Unitrade. $180.00 $100.00
68 Canada #2642ii, 2642 (Thematic Collection #186). VF mint NH 2013 issue "Chinatown Gates" IMPERFORATE souvenir sheet of 8 in the special edition "Chinatown Gates Collection" presentation folder with a normal sheet and two coins. This special and limited edition sheet was only available in the thematic collection folder and was overlooked as a major modern variety by most collectors. Only 8,888 issued. A real "sleeper" item, undervalued in Unitrade. Note that this imperforate variety ALWAYS sells for close to (and sometimes over) full catalogue. 2019 Unitrade. $180.00 $120.00
69 Canada #2847a (BK623), 3051a (BK686). Two recalled error booklets. The first is the 2015 UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Hoodoos) Booklet, the scarce recalled $7.20 self-adhesive booklet of six x $1.20 stamps, including two of the misidentified "Hoodoos". Withdrawn from post offices in a panic by Canada Post, not many reached private hands. The second booklet is the famous November 2017 recalled Hanukkah booklet. This booklet was recalled in a panic by Canada Post (almost within hours of the official issue date) due to the use of the Star of David as a design element, both on the cover and on the pane. The official explanation was that the Menorah is the symbol of Hanukkah, not the Star of David. The new revised booklet has a different cover and pane design. A nice modern OOPs! duo. Estimate $150.00 $75.00
70 Canada #3051. Recalled First Day Cover. Extremely rare RECALLED First Day Cover of the 2017 Hanukkah commemorative. The single Star of David printed on the reverse of the cover is the only distinguishing mark that separates the recalled cover from the revised version. A real modern FDC rarity. Revised version cover included for comparison. 2019 Unitrade. $403.70 $210.00
71 Canada #BK5/BK71d. VF mint NH selection of 47 different Centennial issue booklets, all properly identified for Unitrade varieties by a very knowledgeable collector. See the scan of the inventory list for more details. Owner's accurate 2015 Unitrade. $602.00 $140.00

133 Great Britain #57 plate #1 and #2. Used examples of both plate #1 and plate #2 examples of the 1867 issue 5sh pale rose Victoria.

As per Scott footnotes there should be a 25% premium for centering (margins clear of design) and a 25% premium for the CDS cancel ($1,200.00 US). Due to a minute repair to a couple of perfs at left (the repair only visible in fluid), no premiums have been added. 2019 Scott US$800.00= $1,040.00 $140.00
137 Great Britain #142. Fresh and VF centered used example of the 1902 issue £1 blue green Edward. Note two light "LONDON DE 12 '04 F.S. 15" CDS cancels. All in all an exceptional example of the top value Edward. 2020 Scott US$825.00= $1,072.50 $290.00

The details are: a scattered collection of GB Regionals including Guernsey, Isle of Man, and Jersey plus a page of Heligoland.
