Ian’s comment: "This is a lot which would be spurned by the traditionalists. When the Canadian Postal Museum was getting established they wanted these for a display because of their appeal to the general public who were not ‘fly-speck’ philatelists. They asked me to find a set and I had a very hard time locating and purchasing one. "
