Weeda's Weekly Stamp Sale

Bidboard # 1973

Lot # 8

Australia #223 Variety.
Complete mint Never Hinged sheet of 80 (right pane) of the 1949 issued 1/2d orange Kangaroo, clearing showing the "Sky Retouch" constant plate variety in position 6/8 (line 6, stamp 8). We also noted a flaw in position 9/4 "line to the left of ear", and possible more to be found. Small tear in top margin (stamps OK). The "Sky Retouch" is listed in Gibbons as #228b, and severely undervalued (in our opinion) at £60.00 for the single stamp. Estimate =

On our bidboard page you will notice that we have included a declining clock that displays the time remaining in the sale, subject to the addition of overtime. There is an automatic 3 minute bidding extension if a bid is submitted on any lot within the last 3 minutes on the bidding clock. These time extensions will continue to occur until there is a 3 minute period during which no bidding takes place. We expect overtime with this type of bidding will last between one to two hours in extra bidding time. This extra time will allow you to make sure you get the lots you really want.
