Christmas Collections. Remarkably comprehensive collections of all the possible permutations of the Christmas issues for 1968 (#488, 489, 488p, 489p, 488a, 488ai, 488q, 488qi), 1969 (#502, 502p, 502a, 502ai, 502q, 502qi, 503, 503p), 1970 (#519-528 with too many permutations to list!), 1973 (#625-628) and 1974 (#650-653). The collections (mainly prepared by Kasimir Bileski) include mint and used singles, regular and tagged issues, matched sets of plate blocks, booklet panes and cacheted First Day covers. Of particular note and constituting the bulk of the value of this lot is the 1970 Childrens' Drawings series. This group includes CDS First Day cancelled examples of the 5c and 6c identical centre blocks, both regular and Winnipeg tagged. The 5c blocks are both "M.A" types but the tagged 6c block is WITHOUT the "scratch through window" variety (much scarcer thus and worth a premium). All in all, a valuable and attractive holding.
