The exhibit represents an opportunity to add the few missing varieties (double paper, printed on gum side etc.) and perhaps expand to include the QEII side profile issues to take the exhibit to five frames. Offered intact to allow a collector to continue this journey in modern philately. Stunning and worth inspection. (Image)
