EXTREMELY FINE. ONE OF ONLY TWO RECORDED SETS OF BLOCKS OF FOUR OF THE 1869 PICTORIAL INVERT PLATE PROOFS. A PHENOMENAL RARITY -- ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE OF ALL 1869 PICTORIAL ISSUE PROOFS.
All examples of the 1869 Pictorial Invert proofs come from the sheets in the Earl of Crawford collection. Two sets of blocks of four are known to still survive intact, in addition to the unique imprint and plate number blocks of eight (which sold for $230,000 hammer in the 2009 Cunliffe sale).

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. A SCARCE COMPLETE SET OF THE 1898 TRANS-MISSISSIPPI SMALL DIE PROOFS FROM A ROOSEVELT PRESENTATION ALBUM.
It is believed that only 85 Roosevelt albums were produced, from which all known Small Die Proofs on wove originate. (Image)

VERY FINE. AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE DIE PROOF SHOWING THE 10-SUBJECT DIE OF THE 3-CENT TYPE II WASHINGTON ISSUE, SCOTT 502.
In the spring of 1918 the Bureau planned to hasten plate production by using a 10-subject transfer roll. It was, however, necessary to first prepare a 10-subject die. Only four plate numbers were made (8866, 8867, 8868 and 8869), none of which was for booklets. Examples from plate numbers 8866 and 8867 are unreported. Plate numbers 8868 and 8869 went to press on April 16, 1919, and examples are considered to be scarce.
