Canada # 59P with Re-Entry (#59v)

Imperf plate proof sheet margin block of four on india on card of the 1897 issue 20c vermilion Jubilee with the Unitrade #59v re-entry in the lower right stamp. This is listed and illustrated by Ralph Trimble on his Re-Entries.com site as #59 "Re-entry 1", plate position #37, which corresponds perfectly with the Unitrade listing. This is the strongest re-entry on this stamp. Note the strong marks in "POS" and in the crown. This re-entry was originally discovered byEarl Noss. The position 37 re-entry on the issued stamp has a 100% premium over the regular stamp in Unitrade and a regular proof block catalogues for $1,500.00. Fewer than 17 individual proofs showing this re-entry can theoretically exist, so the number of positional blocks that are still intact has to be considerably less! This block will certainly ramp up your Jubilee exhibit! Tiny inclusion in the upper left (normal) stamp and natural paper discoloration on the middle top, noted for the record. Estimate =
