Comprehensive MNH lot of the 1992 "Canada in Space" hologram issue consisting of varieties, both the now-familiar Unitrade-listed constant varieties as well as EFO and more unusual items. When this issue was released Winnipeg dealer Kasimir Bileski purchased 50,000 panes of 20 (the equivalent of 10% of the entire print run) and proceeded to identify and catalogue the many varieties found on Canada's first Hologram stamp. In this lot are panes with Bileski's "James Bay Crater" variety, set of 5 with the "Black Hole" variety on all 5 rows, the "Low Orbit" and "High Orbit" varieties, "Meteor Shower" showing on nearly all 10 hologram stamps, misplaced hologram (apparently the sheet with the holograms to the further right that he found in the whole hoard) as well as 4 'Abnormal' panes with an Elizabethan Study Group article and EFO "Bomb" inclusion pane. Also includes 3 opened packs of matched sets of plate blocks and used pane on piece of parcel from Bileski. The varieties not listed in Unitrade had an original retail cost of $960.00 in addition to the current catalogue price. An exceptional opportunity to acquire superlative "original find" examples of the recognized varieties in addition to providing an excellent basis for an award-winning exhibit. 2019 Unitrade.
