CZ Airmail and Postage Due Plate Blocks – revised 10/15/13

 

(“Top” of “bottom” refer to plate position on the sheet – “top” plate blocks occur at the top of the sheet, so plate # and selvage is at the top of the plate block)

 

NOTE WELL: most of C6-20 have gum bends, created from shrinkage in the stamps when the gum dried; these are NORMAL and look like light diagonal creases. I will only take prices off for heavier creases, and of course always mention the extent of the gum creases in the description. “Couple gum bends” means only a couple in the block; “gum bends” means they are present throughout.
