Lot 423 Canada #523ap, 528ap 1970 Christmas issue, Specialized Group of 3 VFNH Winnipeg Tagged Se-Tenant Strips of 5 on HF and HB Ribbed Papers

A specialized group of 3 different Winnipeg Tagged se-tenant strips of 5 of the 5c and 6c designs from the 1970 Christmas issue, printed on different papers. The basic groups of paper for this issue are smoooth paper, and paper showing a distinct vertical ribbing. This group consists of the 5c strip HF Ribbed paper and the 6c strips on HF and HB ribbed paper. The tagged stamps should exist on smooth paper, though they seem to be very scarce, as nearly all the tagged I see are on ribbed paper. Untrade cat. $17. The strips offered here grade between 75 and 84.
