 1964 Christmas 5d Child & Nativity Scene SG 372 horizontal pair, the left-hand unit with the Red Printing (Hairband, King's Cloak &
'AUSTRALIA' Inscription) Partially Omitted ACSC 425cb, unmounted, Cat $4000 (?) for the pair. RPSV Certificate (2025). The latest edition of the ACSC sees the price of a single stamp increased from $2500 to $3500, but the price of a se-tenant pair
has inadvertantly remained at $3000 (which is lower than that of a single, and patently nonsensical). Gibbons lists only the Red Printing Completely Omitted, as SG 372a (£5000). Ex David Adams. (Image1) (Image2)

 1964 Christmas 5d Child & Nativity SG 372 marginal block of 15 with all units in the central row showing the Red Printing Partially
Omitted ('AUSTRALIA' Inscription Missing to a greater or lesser extent) ACSC 425ca, three units in the upper & lower rows with small hinge remainders (apparently courtesy of the Royal of London!), the others including all the variety units unmounted,
Cat $17,500+ for singles (or $15,000 only for se-tenant pairs with normal stamps; an unfortunate error of the single being re-priced but not the pair). Gibbons lists only the Red Printing Completely Omitted, as SG 372a (£5000). RPSL Certificate
(1966). The ACSC reports that at least three sheets showed partial omission; this item matches the second sheet described, which the ACSC states "was originally sold as an intact block of 15 (horizontal rows 3-5), but has since been broken up". This
piece appears to stem from another similar sheet, and is now presumably a unique block. Ex David Adams. (Image1) (Image2)
