Cat No:BK3/BK238

Dealer Stock of Complete Booklets, filling a black box, with all the booklets in glassines, which all have catalogue numbers and values, there appears to be a good variety of material, with French and English, bilingual, varieties, and duplication sometimes up to about 5. The owner counted the catalogue value using a 2008 Unitrade, and so we assume the modern value would be higher. Overall fine to very fine, we photographed the first 30 items to give an idea. (Image)

Cat No:BK5c/BK208b

Collection of Over 400 Booklets, from BK5c to BK208b, this group has a good variety of different, including varieties such as different languages for the early issues, stitched or stapled, booklet covers, rate pages, etc. The catalogue value given is for most of the collection which is identified and priced, but the lot contains 16 booklets which were not catalogued but contain $66 in face. There are also 10 booklets of BK74 with the perforations shifted down which are part of the "over 400 booklets" but not part of the catalogue value, as well as a few that are missing stamps (indicated as such). A useful lot, which has much duplication of some, but also lots of variety and better items and totally unchecked by us for tagging, perforations or other such varieties. (Image)

Cat No:BK69 var.

1972 Opal Manufacturing "2 BOOKLETS OF" Booklets for Experimental Toronto Dispensing Machine, two different BK69 glued together (one with "Free Dispenser..." and one with "Pre-Stamped..." message on back), with "2 BOOKLETS OF" handstamped on the front. According to Harris Centennial Definitive Series 1967-1973, 1,270 sets of these were prepared by the Opal Manufacturing Company in 1972 and dispensed in three machines in Toronto, as the Post Office was researching the use of 50c vending machines. Interestingly, these have an additional bonus: both inside back covers have a handstamp reading "This is Exhibit "B" mentioned and / referred to in the affidavit of / William Edward Greig / Sworn before me this 18th day of / March A.D. 1974 (signed R.Stainton) / "A" Commissioner, &c". A scarce item for the booklet or Centennial collector, and who knows why this booklet spent some time in court? (Image)

Very fine and rare, a great item for the booklet, or Centennial collector. (Image)

2017 Hanukkah Recalled Booklet, a group of two booklets which had been recalled within hours of having been issued, due to the incorrect use of the Star of David motif. These are quite difficult to find (more so than the Hoodoo recalls, for example), and we find the Unitrade catalogue value to be lower than what the market has been proving. (Image)
