Sale 1206, Lot 380, 1908-10 Washington-Franklin Issues (Scott 331-356)5c Blue, Imperforate (347). Massive Jumbo margins showing portions of all adjoining stamps, rich color, neat strikes of New York oval registry cancel, Extremely Fine Gem, a huge stamp, ex Kirke, with 2010 P.S.E. certificate (Gem 100 Jumbo; unpriced in SMQ above the grade of 100, SMQ $600.00 for 100), this is the highest grade possible and the only example to achieve this grade, while it is not unusual to "create" imperforate Washington-Franklin Jumbos from mint sheets or large multiples, finding a used multiple that will yield a stamp such as this is considerably more difficult
