Unitrade only lists one paper variety on the 35c Mountie, even though there are many. Not all are equally common. From our experience the true dull papers on this issue are the scarcest types. Our best estimate of the value, based on what similar listed paper varieties sell for is $15. The stamps offered here grade 80-84 as follows:
