Mint Accumulation. Canada’s first sheetlet, the Geological Congress issue confused collectors. Some stuck with single stamps, others with plate blocks and some with the sheetlet of 16. By the time they realized how many copies the average collector would need, the issue was off sale and prices almost immediately began to rise. This lot of six stockpages has a mix of complete mint never hinged sheetlets of 16, in both the regular and "tagged" version. 20 "philatelic" sheetlets in total, plus about 100 blocks of four and 20 inscription blocks. 2024 Unitrade =
