One consignor brought in an old-time collection which was not very exciting. During the lotting process, however, we looked carefully at every page and buried within something quite exciting showed up. Purchased from long-time Canadian stamp dealer Kasimir Bileski of Winnipeg, these items became lots 572 and 582. The existence of these two groups of proofs boosted the original valuation of the collection by a factor of about four.
