68 Canada #1735. MASSIVE TAGGING ERROR. VF mint NH upper left inscription block of 4 of the 1998 issue 45c "Health Professionals" commemorative, the two left hand stamps with a massive "over-tagging all over" error, visible even without the use of a UV lamp. The right hand stamps also have some of the tagging along the left hand. New and unlisted! As major a tagging error as we have seen in recent years. Very impressive under the blacklight.

72 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 Withdrawn from post offices in a panic by Canada Post, not many reached private hands.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 $80.00

75 Canada #BK59d. VARIETY. VF MNH complete Centennial issue booklet containing one pane of 5 (1 x 1c + 4 x 6c plus label), on DF paper with the 6c printed in fluorescent ink, with part of semi-circle in top selvedge at top of middle perf variety.

Only 8 covers carried each way, which makes this a semi-official airmail showpiece rarity of the highest order. See the copy of page 13 of the C. A. Longworth-Dames "Semi-Official Air Stamps of Canada 1924-1934" aero-philatelic handbook for full flight details. 2020 Unitrade. $2,500.00 $700.00

While there is duplication to be expected, the range of issues is impressive. The total face value of this lot is $1,745.73 and Canada Post now charges $1.00 over face value per cover, so the original cost of this group would easily be over $2,500.00! Conservatively valued for the face value of the stamps on cover. See the scan of the inventory list for the years/number of covers/face value breakdown. Total Face Value of the stamps on cover: $1,745.73 $425.00

Note that the Canada Post surcharge for FDCs has ranged from 25c to (presently) $1.00 per cover. Taking this into consideration, the total original cost of this lot would be over $350.00! Conservatively valued for the basic face value of the stamps on cover. Total face value of the stamps on cover $208.63= $208.63 $90.00

The stamps run from no gum to OG HR to LH to NH, as usual for a group such as this. All valued as Hinged.

132 Gibraltar #4/130. Mint and used (sometimes both) selection of 1886-1950 period issues, generally in Fine, sound condition. Fifty-three stamps in total, including some colour and perf varieties. The mint #110 is perf 13½ and the used #111 and 114 are also both 13½. The 1 shilling Edward in brownish bistre is an anomaly although very obviously a genuine used stamp with proper watermark and apparently genuine postal cancel. Likely and early printing error and more research will be required. It's easy to speculate but some documentation would help. The consignor thinks that it is a real find. Valued as a regular used 1shilling. A further philatelic note is that the A11 type 10c rose was mailed from Tangier, no doubt close to the time that these stamps were overprinted for such use, in 1898.
