From Brazil we have the legendary "Pack Strip", a unique se-tenant multiple
comprising the 30 and 60-reis values from the second composite plate used to
print the 1843 Bull's Eye issue. The Buenos Aires Barquitos issue provides
the remarkable "In Peso" tête-bêche pair, which experts consider to be the only surviving tête-bêche multiple of the issue. For the first time ever, the auction market will have an opportunity to bid on the famous cover bearing the Chile 1854 5-centavos Lithograph block of fourteen,
which was acquired by the collector privately more than forty years ago.
The first day cover of Colombia's first issue is the only First Issue First
Day Cover from any country in the Americas, including Canada and the United
States. Finally, Peru offers two equally worthy candidates for the top-rated
position: the ex-Weinberger block containing the Medio Peso Rose Red se-tenant
error, and the spectacular combination cover with the Medio Peso Rose Red
error and a pair of the One Dinero Blue first issue.
These outstanding items have been shown in Court of Honor and Aristocrats of
Philately displays in major international exhibitions for decades, but they
rarely appear at auction, and never before have all of them been gathered in
one collection at one time. The entire sale is destined to be heralded as one
of the most important philatelic auctions of all time.
