Canadian Philately Blog With Helpful Post For Budding Collectors Of Large Queens

I've been talking with the owner of this blog, and asking his advice on how to organize my stamp albums for a semi-specialized collection of Canada, especially the early issues where Unitrade can be somewhat opaque as to what exists.

The author today posted an amazing summary of the Large Queen issue that I think everyone who has an interest in this short-lived but complex issue should check out, it is a veritable GOLD MINE of information.

(the blog owner has also done a helpful post for me on the perforated cents issue earlier which is very useful too!)

So finally got the opportuninty to set up my pages for the Large Queens Issue using the blog post from CanadianPhilately.com as a guide. Sorted first by Duckworth paper type, then values and perfs etc. Thought I'd share my summary for those wanting to create their own pages and want a handy quick overview.
