868 og RU1d Image#RU1d, Caterson Brontz & Co., 5c Brown on watermarked paper, an extraordinary offering of the rarest of all Playing Card stamps and certainly one of the rarest of all Private Die Proprietary stamps, being a mint single of which only three are known to exist, wonderfully fresh, with full o.g. that has a small paper h.r. (trace of a faint thin speck below h.r.), because the stamp was so poorly centered during its production (horizontal perfs. at bottom shifted into the design), legend has it that the engraver of the stamps trimmed the stamps so that his design would remain intact, and this is true of the stamp offered here and the one offered in the Joyce collection, however this is the better margined of the two as its design is virtually intact (Joyce copy is well cut in at bottom), plus this copy still retains its perforations at bottom, very fine; one of the key rarities of the Frank L. Himpsl collection; a 1988 PF certificate was issued for this stamp but no longer accompanies; ex-"Donaldson". (Image) $10,000.00
