Lot 481 Canada #1165var 38c Multicoloured Parliament Buildings, 1988-1992 Mammal and Architecture Issue, A VFNH Right Sheet Margin Block Showing a Repellex Error Affecting The Bottom 4 Stamps, With 2022 VG Greene Certificate
A VFNH right sheet margin block of 4 of this definitive stamp, printed on Slater paper, and showing a prominent repellex error, in which a significant portion of the blue in the sky is missing on the left three stamps. The 2022 VG Greene certificate states that the error affects all four stamps on the bottom row, though I cannot see with my naked eye any different between the lower right stamp and the top stamps in the block.
