VF mint NH investment group of two different undervalued "joint issue" souvenir sheets, consisting of the 1999 Australia/Canada "Marco Polo" sheet (x 21 sheets) containing an 85c Australian stamp and a 46c Canadian stamp, plus the 2006 USA/Canada "Champlain Surveys the East Coast" sheet (x 25 sheets) containing two 39c US stamps and two 51c Canadian stamps. The #2156 sheet has a bar code at lower left, unlike the US produced sheet which has no bar code. Of particular note, and unknown to many collectors is the fact that the Canadian stamps in each of these souvenir sheets have different perforations than the regular issue stamp and are listed in Unitrade catalogue as such (#1779b and #1256a). The combined total face value of the Canadian, US and Australian postage in the sheets is $78.46 with the appropriate conversion rates (US @1.40 and Australian at @.90). 2020 Unitrade.
