THE LARGEST RECORDED MULTIPLE OF THE 1851 10¢ TYPE I IMPERFORATE ISSUE AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ITEMS FOR THE ISSUE.

The discovery of this strip was first reported in the August 30, 1941 edition of "Stamps" magazine. Found by Pasadena, Cal. stamp dealer Alexander D. Gage as part of a group of six strips of 5 of the 10¢ imperforates affixed to a May 30, 1857 letter from Sacramento, Cal. to an eastern publisher for payment of a subscription. The publisher returned stamps to the sender with a note that they where unusable due to the stamps being stuck down and asked for currency for the payment. US$0 (Image)
