SG. X848y var, U73a, CC 118NP. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 1½p Black FCP/PVAD (i.e. dextrin gum) MISSING PHOSPHOR error / variety, printed by Harrisons in gravure, from (1½p/1p) horizontally se-tenant stitched booklet pane X844my / USB8a. This is the scarce dextrin gum version, which only comes from (a very few) stitched panes. This example is particularly special as it has been kept (horizontally) se-tenant with a (completely trimmed at right) 1p for added provenance. A rarity, and very undercatalogued. (JMD RS35st)

SKU: 87334

SG. X867y IL/X900y var IR, U139d, CC RFA50SEL/NP. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 5p Claret, with imperf edge left, and 13p Pale Chestnut, with imperf edge right, both MISSING PHOSPHOR error / variety, printed by Harrisons in gravure, in a fine se-tenant pair, from (1p/5p/13p) £1 vending booklet pane X845say. (JMD RS20st)

SKU: 87319

SG. X872 var, U149 var, CC 146BL. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 6½p Greenish Blue, in a left-hand (positional) marginal block of four, with a dramatic leftward shift of the usual centre phosphor band, to produce the scarce 4mm NARROW BAND LEFT (NBL) error / variety. Printed by Harrisons in gravure, this stamp is a counter sheet printing, and the NBL stamps' band does not sit over the left edge/perforations, but is slightly inset. Only from counter sheet cylinder 4 and listed in the Connoisseur Catalogue. Very unusual in a marginal block of four! [Note: the upper right stamp has the listed background re-touch and broken cross, from cylinder 4 dot, Row 3, stamp 2. A quite possibly unique block combining NBL and the listed variety.] (JMD RS3st)

SKU: 87302

SG. X872b, U149b, CC 146UC. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 6½p Greenish Blue, in a top marginal block of four, on UNCOATED PAPER. Printed by Harrisons in gravure, only from counter sheet cylinder 4. Unusual to have this error / variety in a (top marginal) block of four! Additionally, comes with a 1983 RPS certificate. (JMD RS4st)

SKU: 87303

SG. X872y, U149c, CC 146NP. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 6½p Greenish Blue, MISSING PHOSPHOR error / variety, printed by Harrisons in gravure, in right-hand ‘TOTAL SHEET VALUE £13’ block of six. (JMD RS24st)

SG. X899a var / X899 var, U214 var / U213 var, CC 214AOP / 210AOP. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT horizontal se-tenant pair of 12½p Light Emerald right band and left band, SOLID ALL OVER PHOSPHOR error / variety, from the (1983) Story of the Royal Mint prestige stamp booklet 'The Royal Mint and America' 6 x 12½p pane (SG X899m var UEP13). This piece has the RB/LB pair attached to the upper part of the PSB page/pane, including all the way to the left edge, with stitching holes. Totally solid all over phosphor is unusual, and this is an excellent example, with phosphor printed entirely all over the surface of the two side band stamps, the selvedge and even up to the stitching holes, with a full ultraviolet afterglow everywhere. It truly glows! A lovely piece. (JMD RS11st)

SKU: 87310

SG. X900l var, UEP22b, CC RF131FB x9 pane - GBDSSC DP78. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 13p Pale Chestnut complete pane of 9 stamps, with the PHOSPHOR centre band PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES error / variety. Printed by Harrisons. The pane comes from the (1985) The Story of The Times prestige stamp booklet and is still within a complete, unbroken DX6 PSB. Each of the nine 13p stamps has a printed (as opposed to offset), fully intact, and clear, centre phosphor band, with a full afterglow under ultraviolet, PRINTED ON THE GUM SIDE. [Rare for this error pane to be both complete and still within a booklet; singles when available are £85.] (JMD RS12st)

SKU: 87311

SKU: 87322

SG. X907 var, U238b/U238c, CC 222BBa/222BBb. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT horizontal pair of 15½p Pale Violet with a rightward displacement of the usual two (side) phosphor bands, to produce a single 6mm BROAD BAND centre on the left-hand stamp, and a single 9½mm BROAD BAND centre on the right-hand stamp error / variety. The pair is from the (1982) Story of Stanley Gibbons prestige stamp booklet pane of six (SG X907l var), printed by Harrisons in gravure. Providing additional provenance, the pair has been carefully removed from a pane of six stamps and has part of the PSB page/pane (with design) at the left of the pair, and at the right is the pane selvedge — an attractive piece which shows two different broad bands se-tenant with each other. (JMD RS1st)

SKU: 87300

SG. X907 var, U238d, CC 222FBa. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT 15½p Pale Violet with the PHOSPHOR PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES error / variety, from the (1982) Story of Stanley Gibbons prestige stamp booklet pane of nine (SG X907m var), printed by Harrisons in gravure. The stamp has two printed (as opposed to offset), fully intact, and clear, phosphor bands, with a full afterglow under ultraviolet, PRINTED ON THE GUM SIDE, and remains attached to the left part of the PSB page/pane, including the left edge, with stitching holes. (JMD RS5st)

SKU: 87304

SG. X908y / X899 var, U242c / U214 var, CC 226NP / CC 214NP. A fine UNMOUNTED MINT vertical se-tenant pair of 16p Olive-drab and 12½p (pale shade) Light Emerald MISSING PHOSPHOR error / variety, printed by Harrisons in gravure, from (12½p/16p) £1.46 folded/counter booklet pane X899na var UMFB33 var. The 16p is missing the two phosphor bands. The 12½p is missing the right band, confirmed through the vertical pair being attached to the booklet's right selvedge, with the bonus of there being a cylinder number (B5B26, without a phosphor number, of course). The selvedge is still attached to a small piece of the £1.46 Seahorse booklet cover. [Note that the 12½p's from the £1.46 booklets are a pale shade and comb perf., and are listed separately in the Connoisseur Catalogue, with just two examples per booklet]. Exceptional pair! (JMD RS33st)

SKU: 87332
