Canada #472 (SG#614) 5c 1967 Pan American Games DF Gr Ribbed Paper, Smooth Gum Blank UL VF-84 NH

A very well centered and very fine mint NH blank field stock upper left block, from the upper right pane, of the 5c red 1967 Pan American Games Issue. Line perf. 11.85 x 11.95. Vertical wove paper with no visible vertical mesh, light vertical ribbing visible on the gum, and smooth cream DEX gum with a semi-gloss sheen. Under ultraviolet light, the paper gives a dull fluorescent greyish reaction, with no fluorescent fibres being visible in the paper. Unitrade values a VF-75 NH block on the normal dull paper at $1.40. The block offered here grades VF-84 NH as follows: Margins/centering: 54/70 Paper freshness: 5/5 Colour: 5/5 Impression: 5/5 Absence of visible paper flaws: 5/5 Perforations: 10/10 Note any vertical or horizontal line shown in the scan is the edge of the acetate strip that the stamp was resting inside on the stockcard. Note: the above scan is a stock photo as are all my scans for material after 1952. The item(s) you will receive has (have) been carefully checked to adhere to the above grading standards, so while it (they) may not be exactly the same, it (they) will be of the same quality. Also, I do not provide back scans of NH stamps or blocks after 1952 unless they are required to illustrate some attribute of the paper or gum.
