From The Red Baron Collection, coming on February 26.
Lot 372 Canada #CLP7 1928 ($1) Red on White Moose Jaw Flying Club, a complete vertical pane of five mint stamps, top and two bottom stamps are very lightly hinged (almost imperceptible), leaving stamps 2 and 3 never hinged. Quite fresh and extremely rare, with only two known to have survived. The owner, who had a strict “never hinged criteria” looked far and wide for a never hinged example and was told by several specialists that such a “unicorn” did not exist and that this was probably the “best one out there.” A great opportunity for the advanced Semi-Official collector, or seeker of the very rare. Unitrade CV$18,000.
