1c Blue Green, Booklet Pane of Six (300b). Bright color, bold purple "Kansas City Mo." parcel roller cancel, few expertly rejoined perf separations, slight soiling in right margin and tiny flaw at bottom (none mentioned on accompanying certificate)FINE APPEARANCE. AN EXTREMELY RARE USED EXAMPLE OF THE 1902 ONE-CENT BOOKLET. ONLY FOUR ARE RECORDED IN OUR CENSUS WITH THE BOOKLET TAB.
In the course of helping a collector assemble a complete set of used booklet panes, we undertook census work on several, including this issue. We found only four intact panes with the tab, including one with a non-contemporary cancel. There are also two without the tabs. An additional two were certified in the past as genuine but have since been determined to have fake cancels.
