Item Description
This is the matched upper and lower margin 3c imperforate Wisconsin plate numbered blocks (each plus an additional 2 stamps), which is now for sale. The stamp plate blocks are pristine -- exceptionally fresh and clean as are all of the additional stamps. All 16 issues are exactly as they originally arrived at the Post Office -- no gum as issued. The reverse sides are clean and without any marking or other imperfections (please see the images).Just for grins, the rationale for these special printing issues directly ties to Postmaster James Farley's gift of imperforate sheets to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, himself a lifelong philatelist. News of Farley's gift, which unintentionally created an immediate rarity, touched off a firestorm of angry collectors around the nation. Bowing to customer demand, the United States Post Office Department reprinted the imperforates for sale to the public, which is why they are available today at fairly reasonable rates.
But it gets better, the U.S. Post Office Department sold the issues without gum. Collectors then had the choice, they could keep their prized additions as they were issued -- without gum, or once purchased send them back to the USPD for gumming. There apparently were enough gum enthusiasts that Scott editor's allow for a real premium on the gummed never hinged varieties.
Please review the the images for clarity, colors, condition, and centering.
