image 1981 Fungi 24c Toadstools block of 6 (2x3) with Yellow Magenta & Black Printings Completely Omitted from Two Units & Partly Omitted from Two Units ACSC 912c, unmounted. An extraordinary production error of great technical interest: illustrated at page 477 of 'Decimals I' (2021). The error was the result of a sizeable folded-over & defective piece of paper partly adhering to the sheet & receiving only the cyan (blue) printing, and the perforations. The full impact of the stray piece is evident only when the block is unfolded. If the piece were to be removed, four units of the block of 6 would be missing the three colours. Note also that about 50% of block as folded is three layers of paper thick! The piece was originally a block of 21 (7x3), priced at $4000 "for the complete unit". Obviously, it has been split into two or, perhaps, three blocks.

An outstanding technical study of fascinating material, which is, by far, the best Counter-Printed Stamp collection we have seen. It includes numerous items we have not previously encountered (sorry about the pun), and is all the more remarkable for having been assembled by a collector in England. (Image1)

image COUNTER-PRINTED STAMPS: 2002 usage of Pair of Kangaroos with Denomination & Literal Omitted pluis with a Printing Flaw at Lower-Left that probably contributed to the omissions with large central 'VOID' Overprint, tied to an unquestionably commercial cover by 'DANDENONG/LETTERS CENTRE/VIC 3175' machine cancel of 2002/JLY/15 and Dot Matrix cancel 'P C DLC542 15JUL02', curiously not taxed which suggests the sorting equipment could not identify the invalid franking. A modern rarity, and the only such item we have seen.
