Brilliant blocks from famed dealer K. Bileski, who examined 100,000 plate blocks of the 1955 Boy Scout World Jamboree and found only 4 that had any significant varieties. These MNH lower right blocks show the central brown Scout logo shifted either up or down, along with a dramatic misperf error. A most rare error from a period of tight printing control with very few errors escaping detection. Decades-old original retail price $500 with a copy of Bileski's write-up. Estimate
