Canada Stamp #3260 - Lunar New Year (2) - Cycle (2021) $32.52

Uncut press sheet of 12 different, very rare limited edition of 8,000!

10 out of 12 stamps from the very rare uncut press sheet #3260 (#3260a, 3260b, 3260c, 3260d, 3260f, 3260g, 3260h, 3260i, 3260j and 3260k) of which only 8,000 copies were issued. The stamps from this sheet have perforations of 12.5 rather than the originals which have perforations of 13.1. These stamps are required by some albums, therefore really sought after, but the only to get them is to tear the very rare uncut sheet, what an unpleasant dilemma!

As stated in a footnote in the catalogue below #3260, this uncut press sheet was issued on the 10/20/2020, but with two different timestamp! The most common version is timed "3:53:18 PM" and the Monkey stamp #3260i has a "squiggle" at upper left of its head dress. But the very much scarcer version is timed "8:51:46 AM" and DOES NOT have the "squiggle" (#3260ii)!

Very scarce uncut press sheet of 12 different Lunar Year souvenir sheets with only 8,000 issued! The first Canadian uncut press sheet to receive its own Scott number, it is pretty hard to find and much scarcer than its current catalogue value would suggest!
