Canada #BK159bvar 43c 1993 Canadian Textiles Issue, A VFNH Complete Booklet Of 10 Open HB Cover (Philatelic Stock), DF1/DF2 Harrison Paper Pane, Spotty PVA Gum, Showing Hole In Blanket (Pos 3) Variety, Tertiary And Possibly Constant

A VFNH complete booklet of 10 of the 43c multicoloured Bed Rugg - Boutonne Coverlet from the 1993 Canadian Textiles Issue open HB cover (philatelic stock), DF1/DF2 Harrison paper pane, spotty PVA gum, showing hole in blanket (pos 3) variety, tertiary and possibly constant . The hole in banket variety occurs on the Doukhobor Bed Cover stamp in the top row (Pos. 3), and consists of a small black dot to the left of the "d" of "Canada". I know this variety is at least tertiary, as I have seen it on a first day cover, which is in this sale. In fact, it would appear that it may appear on every such stamp from the top row of the booklet, though further study will be required to establish if this is the case or not.

Unitrade values this at $12 for the basic booklet, without these varieties. Our estimate of the value with these varieties is $17. The booklet offered here grades 80 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 50/70

Cover Freshness: 5/5
