1c Playing Cards, Imperforate (R2a). Vertical pair, large margins all around, deep rich color, April 1864 manuscript cancels

VERY FINE AND CHOICE. AN EXTREMELY RARE SOUND VERTICAL PAIR OF THE ONE-CENT PLAYING CARDS IMPERFORATE. THIS IS THE FINEST MULTIPLE IN TERMS OF MARGINS AND CONDITION.

Aside from the reconstructed block of four offered in lot 319, a pair is the largest recorded multiple. Two horizontal pairs and five vertical pairs are recorded.

From the Weill sale. Ex Zoellner and Floyd. With 2001 P.F. certificate. Scott values a pair at a meager $500.00 premium over two singles.
