U.S. $438.00 Face Lot - Larger Plate Blocks - BELOW FACE -This lot is as received, with almost all larger plate blocks as described in the SCOTT US Specialized catalogue. Many blocks are 8 stamps, 10 stamps, 12 stamps up to 16 and 20 stamps. These larger multiples are required to be able to see all the colour imprints and/or Mr. ZIP and Mail Early slogans. The stamps should be listed as all Mint, Never Hinged, but as I added these up I did see a couple blocks with some adhesion on the face or gum and there were a couple bent corners, so this is strictly a BELOW FACE lot. I did see a few blocks without plate imprint, but only a few. I also saw 3 or 4 duplicate blocks. If you collect US place blocks, you will find this worth while. This lot includes some full panes including State Birds (SC#2002Ac - $32.50 USD), Olympics and a set of the 4 Bicentennial panes (SC#1686-9 - $19.00 USD), as well as values from the 5¢ era up to the 29¢ era and an airmail issue. I did not see any High value issues ($1.00 or over) and I have not checked any catalogues for less common plate numbers.

The face value of this lot is $438.00 USD- Selling for $350.00 USD + insured postage (XpressPost) SOLD
