84 Canada #1250ii. Upper right position inscription block of four of the 1989 issue 38c Regiments on VF condition unaddressed Canada Post cacheted First Day Cover.

85 Canada #1283a-1286b. Eight complete sets of all four 1990 issue Petro Canada 39c "Majestic Forests" mini-panes of four, all VF MNH. These panes were produced as a special promotion for Petro Canada. Getting hard to find. 2020 Unitrade. $400.00 $55.00
86 Canada #1395a. VF MNH complete roll of 100 of the 43c olive green Flag 1992 coil issue on DF paper, with massive strip of 25 imperf stamps about one third of the way from the start. Unitrade catalogue notes that only 3 strips of 25 have been reported - this roll expands that number to 4 as it comes from a long term holding. The imperf stamps show red "printer's rejection marks" however they were still rolled and sold. As this is an unopened roll it has also been unchecked for spacing varieties. 2020 Unitrade. $2,575.00 $325.00
87 Canada #1601b (BK190 IMPERFORATE). VF mint condition, pristine and intact 1996 issue "Special Occasions" Greetings Booklet #3, containing a self-adhesive pane of ten 45c stamps, WITH THE DIE-CUTTING COMPLETELY OMITTED. Only four panes have recorded and one of these panes has been separated into 3 sections. Needless to say, as one of the 3 remaining panes this is a modern booklet error of the utmost magnitude. The booklet comes with a 2010 APES photo certificate which states, in part "genuine in all respects". Never seen one before! 2020 Unitrade. $5,000.00 $1,525.00
88 Canada #1693ii, 1693. VF MNH example 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. Includes a regular stamp for comparison. 2020 Unitrade. $110.00 $60.00
89 Canada #1700 (BK236). DRAMATIC MIS-CUT. VF and intact booklet pane of the 2000 issue 47c "Flag over Inukshuk" die-cut self-adhesive, with the horizontal die-cut severely misplaced towards the top of the pane, creating large "one and two thirds" stamps on the bottom row and "one third" stamps at top. A black and white copy of the booklet with red die-cut indicators helps to explain the error. Estimate $250.00 $210.00
90 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 $65.00
91 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. 2020 Unitrade. $120.00 $65.00
92 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 $130.00
93 Canada #3059 (or 3064). VARIETY. Unreported missing colour variety! #3059 (or #3064) 'MacMillan Provincial Park' with missing red 'P in maple leaf' on a small piece (uncanceled), lower left stamp corner slightly clipped.

VF mint Hinged block of four of the 1939 issue 10c overprint on 20c dark carmine Special Delivery stamp, the upper left stamp in the block with "broken bars" at right.
