Sale 1206, Lot 925, PhilippinesPHILIPPINES, 1939, 2c Rose, Booklet Pane of Six, Bottom Left Stamp "Wealth Common-" (433b). Faintly hinged in the tab, otherwise Mint N.H. and without interleaving adhering which is often the case, bright and fresh, tiny bit of black offset on gum at bottom,

FINE AND RARE BOOKLET PANE WITH BOTTOM LEFT STAMP CONTAINING THE "WEALTH COMMON-" ERROR.

It has been stated by experts in the past that only 24 panes were printed. We believe the number to be slightly higher, based on the observed population (we are aware of five complete booklets and a handful of single panes). Two complete booklets were found in an original package of normal panes (ex Diamond). Several others were closely held for decades by a second-generation stamp dealer, who recently found one sound pane plus one in damaged condition in his extensive and disorganized holdings.
