A VFNH sealed pack of ul inscription blocks of the 40c-80c multicoloured Queen Elizabeth II - Stylized Maple Leaf from the 1991 Mammal & Architecture - Canada Day Issues all issues from January-June, including perf. 14.4 x 13.8 46c wolverine, orange card insert, only available to standing order customers. The block Peterboro Paper appear to be very close to LF, though this may just be that they are next to NF Coated Papers paper blocks. It is more likely that they are DF2. The 63c Harbour Porpoise & Peary Caribou are the perf. 13.1 printing, but the 46c Wolverine is the scarcer perf . 14.4 x 13.8 printing. These types of packs were only sent to standing order customers, and were based on specific preferences indicated by them as to block position. Consequently, a very high proportion of these have been opened and destroyed in the ensuing years.

Unitrade values this at $99, based only on the loose blocks themselves. But we feel there should be a premium for a sealed pack. The sealed pack offered here grades 75-84 , based on visible blocks in the pack, as follows:
