Canada, 1898 Imperial Penny Postage (85-86), fabulous specialized collection of 119 mint stamps, all identified according to red plate number, black plate number and plate position, with 108 of those 119 mounted on individual pages below the corresponding illustrations from Whitney L. Bradley's The Canadian Map Stamp of 1898 - A Plating Study (a copy of which is included). Condition is uniformly F-VF or better with a huge majority being NH (only two of the 25 we checked were hinged), though hinging doesn't really matter on a collection of this magnitude. This is a tremendous opportunity to begin a collection of this very popular issue or to add to a previously formed collection, no matter how advanced.
