1963 Pictorials 3d to 2/3d complete set of six die proofs in the issued colours set in a single recessed card (251x195mm) ACSC CK1-6DP(1), the reverse of the display card with six impressions of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cachet in violet dated "28.6.63" and numbered "9", protected by a fold-back cover page that has faults but the proofs themselves - apart from a tonespot on the 8d - are superb, Cat $15,000. The most important item of the stamp-issuing period, being a complete set of die proofs for the first stamp issue. [Ten such composite proofs were produced, numbered "1" to "9" (for Eric Westbrook of the Stamp Advisory Committee) and the last unnumbered for the Royal Collection. This is only the third example we have recorded]
