    Description

    Centennial Booklet #63
    ***A Unique Format Offering ***
    During my past 5 decades of viewing the Centennial Issue I was aware that ex-Booklet Stamps were very much a part of one's Collection. With the introduction of the Se-tenant format this has added to the various
    Ex-booklet, sheet
    stamps. One Centennial Booklet certainly provides a variety of collecting possibilities, that being the Opal Bk#63. This Booklet Issue has several major varieties, one of which I believe
    to date, I have the only reported copy
    , but what about the possible combinations of collecting the pane stamps? Open a Booklet #63 and begin the count of possible different combinations. Well I have saved you the chore of doing that as this very specific selection from Booklet #63 is here within this lot. Note we have the blocks of 4, the singles - straight edge Left and SE Right, the pairs, the Left and the Right strips, se-tenant, et cetera. Perhaps I've missed something? My calculation suggest it would take some 11 booklets to produce this specific Set --cf all images for specifics. Incidentally it is often referred to as the Opal Booklet, in as much as the Opal Vending Machines were approved by Government to dispense Stamp Booklets. There have been some really interesting issues from the Opal Company ranging from the known varieties to the 'not know' e.g. plain folded covers --ever see one of those? -- (cf. Harris 323). The used set with all SON Cancellations I sold several years ago.

    I've been a passionate fan of the 67' Issue for over 50 Years, which makes for a One Line Description rather difficult.
