#RB7a, 10c Green and black on violet paper, an
extraordinary used example in a quality that is next to impossible to find
on these exceedingly difficult Proprietary stamps, featuring perfect
centering amid extravagantly large margins, strong colors (even the central
vignette) on bright paper, beautifully struck c.d.s. cancel dated 1888,
extremely fine; a true rarity in this gem quality; 1991 PF certificate;
ex-Joyce and Lyons.(Image)

RB8a
#RB8a, 50c Green and black on violet paper, an
incredibly choice used example of this challenging stamp to find in premium
condition, featuring absolutely flawless centering amid
uncharacteristically large margins, exceptionally rich and strong colors
(even the central vignette) on bright fresh paper, wonderfully cancelled
with a five-line "Starkey & Palen/May/19/1880/O.T. Phila." blue handstamp,
accompanying certificate mentions a "faint diagonal crease at bottom
right", which is nothing more than a faint bend, and considering this stamp
is typically found quite faulty, this inconsequential bend does not detract
from this otherwise extremely fine gem; 1999 PF certificate.(Image)

RB9b
#RB9b, $1.00 Green and black on green paper, a
magnificent used example of this incredibly rare and notoriously difficult
stamp to find in any kind of collectable quality, in fact, of the mere
seven certified copies in existence, this is the only one that is
completely sound, the other six examples have faults ranging from small
tears and thins to faded vignettes, this extraordinary example from the
Floyd collection features strong rich colors and is quite well centered,
plus it has a light and unobtrusive manuscript cancel, very fine; one of
the great rarities of the entire sale, not only in terms of number known,
but condition as well; 1990 PF certificate; ex-Lyons.(Image)

RB10a
#RB10a, $5.00 Green and black on violet paper, a
magnificent quality used example of this popular revenue rarity, possessing
numerous remarkable physical attributes which are rarely found on this
normally faulty and poorly centered stamp, beginning with its outstanding
overall freshness, with gorgeous intense colors and prooflike impression on
immaculate paper, wonderfully well centered and margined (centered just
slightly to the right as are most examples), especially neat and
unobtrusive manuscript cancel, completely free of the flaws which affect
the vast majority of known copies, extremely fine; of the mere 74 issued
of the Five Dollar Proprietary stamps on violet paper, this is one of the
finest in existence; an immensely rare stamp in this incomparable
quality; even the legendary Morton Dean Joyce collection did not have a
#RB10a of this caliber; 1966 PF certificate.(Image)

#RB16c, 5c Black, rouletted, a spectacular mint
bottom sheet-margin "National Bank Note Co." obliterated imprint block
of five of this rare and terribly difficult stamp, brilliantly fresh,
prooflike color and impression on bright paper, each stamp is quite well
centered and without any of the faults that affect virtually every known
mint copy, full clean o.g., couple of trivial h.r.'s to reinforce some
minor roulette separations, extremely fine; not only the largest
recorded multiple, but also containing probably the five finest known mint
examples of this stamp; one of the premier revenue showpiece rarities;
mint singles of #RB16c are unpriced in Scott (used singles, which are far
more common, catalog $1,500.00 each), when a mint example with full o.g.
makes an appearance on the auction market it typically realizes $3,000.00
to $3,500.00 each and, of course, no mint multiples are listed or priced in
Scott; ex-Joyce.(Image)

quite possibly the only complete set of plate blocks of this series in
existence;ex-Wampler.(Image)
