Fresh and F/VF mint no gum full "BRITISH AMERICAN BANK NOTE Co. OTTAWA" upper sheet margin block of 10 of the 1890 issue 3c slate "Victoria" on the Unitrade listed "red tinted paper", caused by immersion in seawater. Note that the margin is uncoloured, as the red interleaving paper did not extend beyond the stamps. Some perf separations noted as this is a notoriously fragile issue where multiples are concerned. There is a large premium in Unitrade for inscription blocks of four of this issue with a rarity factor of 2.5 times the value of a regular block ($140.00 for a Fine block of four, $350.00 for a Fine inscription block of four). An inscription block of 10 on the scarce paper should be worth an even greater premium! Unitrade as ten x F/VF mint no gum #60i singles is $550.00. Estimate
