PH 1516 (1727) 1977 TALKING PICTURES 13¢ MULTI, FULL SHEET MAJOR COLOR SHIFT ...................... PH $850 Complete lower left pane of 50 with MAJOR downward shift (about 10mm) of engraved brown color. Shift not only displaces movie projector (leaving gutter gap at top), but has completely eliminated plate number! Great exhibition piece or broken down for individual sale. MINT never hinged with great topical appeal. 1517 (1845) 1982 STRAVINSKY 2¢ BROWN BLACK, ‘MISSING FACE’ ....................................................... PH 114 $300 Bizarre variety that defies adequate explanation. Right margin block of 12 with face missing on one stamp and nearly so on another. Stamps were tagged normally (over ink), and missing gum on reverse corresponds directly to missing ink areas on front. Stamps were printed on pregummed paper. Very fine MINT never hinged exhibition piece requiring further research.

PH $2000 Complete, unbroken upper right pane of 100 (plate #38731#38736). Very fresh and very fine. Can be used either as exhibition piece or broken down for resale. Catalog value does NOT include premium for plate block and other position pieces. Datz estimates 300-400 pairs. This may be only intact pane. MINT never hinged. (Datz $4000) Cat $3500. (1688o) 1976 WASHINGTON CROSSING DELAWARE, 24¢ MULTI, TAGGING OMITTED .. View photo online $1000 Very fine souvenir sheet with phosphor tagging omitted on all stamps. Listed, but not valued in Scott. Extremely scarce. MINT never hinged. 1514 (1731a) 1978 CARL SANDBURG 13¢ BLACK & BROWN, BROWN OMITTED .................................................... PH $1200 Unusual example of this scarce error in that all design elements are present, but brown ink entirely missing. Very fine MINT never hinged. Cat $2000. $250 Very fine horizontal pair with virtually no trace of vertical perforations between. Stamps have vertical crease between them and markings that look almost like roulettes. Very strange EFO that we’ve not previously seen on this issue. MINT never hinged. 1513 Estimate 1515 USA Errors, Freaks & Oddities, cont. 10/2/2013, 7:28 PM Regency-Superior
