UNTAGGED ERROR. VF MNH lower right blank corner block of 4 of the 1974 "Keep Fit" Winter Sports COJO Olympic issue, untagged error. Although only one sheet was reported, this block came from the Mike Painter collection where he wrote the following: "My father bought some of this issue at the Okanagan Mission, BC Post Office in 1974. He saved the corner block for me and used the rest as postage including at least four letters to me but I didn't examine them closely until after my father's death in 1980. Since the sheet Ken Rose reported wasn't from Okanagan Mission, I assume my father got all or part of a second sheet from that office." A modern rarity with very few mint untagged corner or inscription blocks reported. Note that the four USED singles Mike Painter describes sold in our August 22nd bidboard sold for $425.00, OVER full Unitrade catalogue value. 2018 Unitrade.
