1895-96 Void Background Perf 12½,13 ½d green with Double Impression SG 208a vertical strip of 4, light indistinct cancellations, Cat £8000+. Almost certainly the largest recorded used multiple.

Ken Scudder at page 179 states "Clear double prints exist...probably all...from the same sheet of stamps." Until the 2010 Edition, this error was unpriced by Gibbons. From 2011, a single was priced at £2000 unused or used, and has not budged since.
