Item Description
Full mint sheet of 50 - 13 cent stamps issued in 1978 to honor Captain James Cook, 200th Anniversary of his arrival in Hawaii, at Waimea, Kauai, Jan. 20, 1778, and his anchorage in Cook Inlet, near Anchorage, Alaska, June 1, 1778. The 2 different stamps show Captain James Cook by Nathaniel Dance and "Resolution" and "Discovery" by John Webber. This sheet is a unique design that the post office tried in 1978 and hasn't repeated. Half the sheet is the portrait of Capt. Cook while the other half features his ship. This results in se-tenant pairs down the middle of the sheet only. The picture below shows a pair of stamps from the sheet. This sheet is as fresh as the day it was purchased at the post office 40+ years ago and is suitable for framing. If you're a stamp collector, it is Scott #1732-1733. Plate # 38391 LL.For First Class, flat shipping with a stiff cardboard backing for mint sheets I charge a flat rate of $3.00 for all items made with a single payment going to US addresses. That covers as many sheets as you win, so bid on several and save on postage. For other items and International addresses, actual postage costs will be charged.
