Canada 1028-1031 32c &64c Multicoloured Various Designs, 1984 United Empire Loyalists - Papal Visit Issues, 8 VFNH Singles NF/NF, NF/DF1, NF/DF2 & NF/LF3 Clark, And LF/DF1 & DF/DF1 Harrison Papers

8 VFNH singles of the 32c &64c multicoloured Various Designs from the 1984 United Empire Loyalists - Papal Visit Issues NF/NF, NF/DF1, NF/DF2 & NF/LF3 Clark, and LF/DF1 & DF/DF1 Harrison papers. The Roman Catholic Church issue is the first one that I know of where the Harrison paper exists with LF3 fluorescence on the back, with this being the standard paper for this issue, rather than a duller variant. The Harrison paper on the Papal visit issue is much closer to the DF Harrison paper that we are used to seeing on later issues from 1988 to 1991. The "1" or "2" in the paper description refers to where the paper falls on the Irwin-Freeman scale, from 0 to 12, with 0 being NF and 12 being the brightest of hibrites. DF2 is quite close to LF, but not quite bright enough. That being said, the difference between DF2 and NF visually is quite striking.
