#6, 1c Blue, Ty. Ia, especially handsome used example of this important classic rarity, with large margins nearly all around, just touching at bottom, although all-important plumes virtually intact, rich luxuriant color and an especially detailed impression on bright paper, light strike of town c.d.s., barely perceptible small corner crease at top right and of little significance on this rare stamp, otherwise very fine; the extreme rarity of Type Ia stamps is due to the fact that only 18 of the 20 positions on the bottom row of plate 4 sheets (200 subjects) produced this distinctive type, which shows a full design at bottom; clear 1991 PF certificate and a 2003 PSE certificate.

#7, 1c Blue, Ty. II, positions 31-33R2, an extraordinarily handsome mint horizontal strip of three, large to huge margins all around, including a sizable sheet margin at left (the left pair is incredibly large and well balanced), deep luxuriant color and strong impression, full o.g., with the end stamps being particularly lightly hinged, trivial edge gum creases affect the two end stamps, otherwise extremely fine; actually a very scarce mint multiple with full original gum; 2003 PSE certificate; ex-Chapin.

#7, 1c Blue, Ty. II, positions 39-40/49-50/59-60/69-70R2, the spectacular unused right sheet margin full imprint and plate "No. 2." block of eight, ample to mostly large margins all around, rich luxuriant color and a strong detailed impression on bright paper, the multiple does have some small faults including thin spots and minor ink staining on positions 59-60, however these do not materially affect its impressive overall appearance, nor are they of importance considering that this is one of only two such intact plate blocks in existence; certainly among the most important plate blocks in United States philately, not only because of its extreme rarity, but it is also the first Scott number for which a plate number block is possible; the other known plate block (ex-Wampler) is also unused and has numerous overall small flaws, nevertheless when it was sold by this firm in April 1998 it attracted spirited bidding resulting in a record realization of $35,750.00 (including premium - the basis for the current Scott evaluation), the Wampler example sold to an important private collector and will presumably not be available for the foreseeable future; Chapin census #3; 1958 PF certificate; ex-Chapin.
