69 Canada #1407ai. VF mint NH example of the famous "Signature Sheet" from CANADA 92. Only 10,000 issued.

The signature sheet comes with the original "Lighthouse" advertising packaging. A used regular souvenir sheet (#1407a) accompanies. 2020 Unitrade. $125.00 $60.00
70 Canada #1693ii. VF MNH pane of 4 of the $5.00 Moose "Extra Moose" variety consisting of a strong offset of the brown Moose, showing a clear impression facing left on the gummed side instead of facing right as on the front. A great mate for the Missing Moose variety. Unitrade states only 200 examples have been reported. Priced as four singles. 2020 Unitrade. $400.00 $120.00
71 Canada #1696a, 1699a. Scarce VF mint NH panes of 18 of the 1998 issue 45c (x 4) and 46c (x 4) stylized Maple Leaf ATM definitives. These stamps were issued through ATM machines (hence the banknote size of the panes) and the cost was deducted from the user's bank account. A short-lived experiment and undervalued in Unitrade. 2020 Unitrade. $400.00 $80.00
72 Canada #1768ii (x 3). Three mint NH 1999 issue Year of the Rabbit uncut sheets, all still in the original mailing tubes. The total original issue price of the three sheets is $74.85. High face value in the stamps that comprise the sheets. 2020 Unitrade. $225.00 $55.00
73 Canada #1812, 1812i, 1813, 1813i, 1814, 1814i, 1818-1834, UX125. VF MNH complete run of all the 1999-2000 Millennium miniature sheets including the basic set of 17 panes plus the additional six "Dove" thematic panes of 4 and 1 as well as the postal stationery post card. Total face value of all the stamps is $41.08. Becoming an increasingly difficult group to assemble, let alone complete. 2020 Unitrade. $200.00 $60.00
74 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. The 2003 set of sheets is very hard to find as #1972 was not included in either the Post Office quarterly pack or annual collection. Modern undervalued items to be sure! 2020 Unitrade. $161.00 $110.00
75 Canada #1991C-1991D. Two complete 2003 issue Canada-Alaska Cruise Ship Sheets. Post Office fresh and VF MNH. These very limited edition promotional "Picture Postage®" stamps were only issued for use on the 2003 season Alaska route cruise ships and are much scarcer than the Unitrade catalogue value would suggest. The 10 undenominated se-tenant stamps in each sheet were (and still are) valid for use as first-class international letter mail. The official printing figures total 50,000 but many were probably still unsold at the end of the cruising season and destroyed. We rarely find these sheets in collections we handle. 2020 Unitrade. $200.00 $75.00
76 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. A real sleeper set, probably the scarcest of all the Canada 2010 Olympic philatelic issues. Sure to increase in value due to the international appeal of Olympic topicals. 2020 Unitrade. $325.00 $80.00
77 Canada #2844, 2847a (BK623). Rare VF mint NH examples of the recalled 2015 issue "Wrong Hoodoo" stamps, consisting of the $8.60 souvenir sheet containing one $1.20 "Wrong Hoodoo" and the complete self-adhesive booklet pane of 6 containing two $1.20 "Wrong Hoodoos". The souvenir sheet is particularly hard to find and often sells for over full catalogue. 2020 Unitrade. $225.00 $200.00
78 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 $70.00
79 Canada #C1-C9. Fresh and VF mint NH complete set of 1928-1948 airmail issues. A very attractive quality mint run. Unitrade is $382.50 for a VF mint NH set. 2020 Scott US$236.60= $307.58 $110.00

While all of these FDCs are scarce, the key cover in the lot is #302, the $1.00 Fishing Resources commemorative. The Unitrade catalogue value in no way represents the actual rarity of this group. Worth full catalogue and more! 2020 Unitrade. $118.50 $90.00
95 Canada Covers #2844. First Day Cover. Extremely rare cacheted and numbered privately produced First Day Cover of the recalled 2015 issue "Wrong Hoodoo" $8.60 souvenir sheet containing one $1.20 "Wrong Hoodoo". The souvenir sheet on FDC is the key Hoodoo item. This verified Towne Centre Kelowna Post Office production is cover #5 from a total run of 18 covers produced. Peter Lepold produced a set of 18 FDCs with the Hoodoos souvenir sheet error and submitted them through the Towne Center Post Office in Kelowna which is a verified Canada Post outlet so the Unitrade warning about manipulated dates does not apply. No Canada Post outlet would engage in spurious backdating. Lepold's products have been the topics of several stories in CSN, most notably in connection with the Hoodoos stamp error (Scott #2844) of July 3, 2015. Gary Dickinson, First Day Cover columnist for Canadian Stamp News (issue of 10 Dec 2019, page 10) reported that Lepold was fortunate to obtain copies of the erroneous souvenir sheet before they were recalled and produced some FDCs for both single stamps and the souvenir sheet. That number was supplied by Peter himself so it is well verifiable. Note that the thin black line on the scan is from the mount and not on the cover. 2020 Unitrade. $500.00 $350.00
96 Canada Covers - The Story of Canada. The complete four volume collection of 84 different deluxe gold cacheted First Day covers making up "The Story of Canada" Excelsior Collector's Guild set.

An attractive, informative and hugely expensive early 1980s production (original issue cost of this lot was well over $1,300.00). Estimate $200.00 $110.00

No premiums have been added for Never Hinged (100% or 50% premium depending on the series). Each group is identified by Van Dam catalogue and valued on each page. Take a very good look at the scans to appreciate the quality, range, value and "extras" that this lot represents. 2017 Van Dam total (without premiums). $1,563.50 $270.00
105 Canada Revenues Van Dam #YL13b. YUKON LAW STAMP Error on Document. Extremely rare VF used example of the closely spaced yet distinctly evident double printing of the silver overprinted Law stamp, punch cancelled on complete 1954 Territorial Court affidavit Van Dam notes that even the basic #YL13 on document is very scarce. We had originally thought that YL13b used on document might be a unique piece but we have since heard of a few others in existence. Thus we have changed our opinion from possibly unique to just exceedingly rare. Conservatively catalogued as a used stamp only. 2017 Van Dam. $750.00 $70.00

Very valuable collection of 92 of the Federal Canadian larger format tobacco revenue stamps and strips, all neatly laid out in mounts on annotated 3-ring pages. Almost all different, carefully and accurately sorted and catalogued for dates, tobacco types and weights. This area of revenue collecting is severely undervalued and these particular types are much scarcer than the thinner strips and smaller seals. This group took decades to assemble. This lot is a welcome addition to a medal-winning collection/exhibit. This lot complements the two lots which sold in Bidboard Auction #1895 (lots #86 & #87). Estimate $1,500.00 $1,525.00

The lot also includes a number of varieties of paper and colour. Owner's 2017 Scott US$552.75= $718.57 $140.00
109 Canadian Provinces - British Columbia #3. Used example of the 1865 issue 5c rose Victoria imperforate, the rarest of all Canadian Provincial issues. The 2005 APS photo certificate states "...used, genuine, thin at bottom, repaired at UR, soiled".
