NEARLY COMPLETE MATCHED SET OF 3c VICTORY PLATE BLOCKS, this lot contains 77 of the possible 80 positions of matched sets of plate blocks, neatly arranged on black stock pages, there are 36 plate blocks which are NH and 41 which are hinged to some degree, the overall centering is mixed with some Very Fine plates here and we also noticed a number of NH "TOP" plates, expect a few scattered faults but for the most part a very clean group, this is the most complete set of these plate blocks that we have ever offered and we doubt it can be matched in completeness, a wonderful opportunity for the matched set collector (Image)
