Lot 242 — Canada #91b Five Cent Edward Blue on White, Realized $1265
This realization is even more remarkable for the fact that a similar stamp described as ‘superb’ sold for $500 in a major public auction in New York two days later. Ours was on white paper and theirs on blue. White is a bit scarcer, and while we didn’t say ‘superb,’ the one in our sale is better-centered.
