Nice Surprises From Our Most Recent Club Meeting

EDITED - corrected booklet stamps title from 386a to 586a and moved to end of list from the first in the list.

From the lucky draw table (I bought 5 tickets for $2.00), I had the first winning number and selected a bag of several hundred loose and on paper Canadian stamps. Like Wert, I'm a flyspecker.

Included were several constant varieties, as well as ribbed paper, paper fluorescence, enough of a certain stamp to show graduation of image shifts and non-constant varieties as well.

Although I don't collect used philatelic materials, I am very pleased to add these to my collection.

Here are some examples.

Well, who knew?
And those were sitting in my basement all this time. Well played, sir.

Thanks Robert. What do you think about the 481 'sunspot' location (2017 Unitrade says it's in the UL of the sun) and the possible reversed paper for the 567? (normal is HB front and dull back [HB/dull}, F/HB or HB/HB)

And many thanks to James whose basement needs a good look over - and I volunteer.

Nice stamp varieties. For 399 most with well-centred centre gauge around 11.85 while most with off-centred centre gauge around 11.95 which may indicate two different printings.

BlackJag..Unitrade says UL and if they are referring to position on the main sun, then yours is LR...Yours looks like brownish dot...

The best I found was a $7.00 junk bin with an American Scott #61 at the bottom.

Robert
