A second offering from an old-time GB collection featuring shades and plate numbers for the 1873-1880 QV issues, all handsomely laid out on the original album page as the original collector had them. Included are #61 the 3p rose with a complete run of plates (11-12, 14-20), #62 the 6p gray with a complete run of plates (#13-17), #64 / 64a the 1sh pale green with an “complete” set of plates (8-13) missing only plate #14 (Scott US$40,000), #66 / 66a the 2 ½ p claret (wmk 28) with a complete set of plates (1-3) including an extra example of plate 1 (the bluish paper variety, not counted as trimmed on top) and #67 the 2 ½ p claret (wmk 29) with 12 of the 15 different plate represented. A wonderful grouping, both visually appealing and a nice reference for future additions. A few faults as to be expected, but overall a very clean group. Although many of these would qualify for the Scott listed premium for centering / postmark, we have valued these as basic stamps only (lots of upside to this lot). 2022 Scott US$3020.00 =
