NINE UNUSUAL US
HYBRID PROOFS 1869 PICTORIALS #112P-122P
A matched set of what are
known as "Hybrid" proofs of the 1869 Pictorial Issue. The heavy
stock cards are about 3 5/8" wide by 4" high (92mm x 103mm) and
there is a gold, hand drawn, single line border which is set in
about 1/2" from each outer edge. Thickness of card stock is ≈
0.012" and is smooth finished on front. There are slight hinge
remnants on the backs of the cards. The plate proofs themselves
are exquisite on very thin India paper. Likely from a
Presentation Set.
The Scott 2006 United States
Specialized Catalogue has this to say: "Hybrids are plate proofs
of all issues before 1894 which have been cut to shape, mounted
and pressed on large cards to resemble large die proofs. These
sell for somewhat less than the corresponding large die proofs."
TOTAL 2006 CATALOGUE VALUE
FOR THIS SET AS LARGE DIE PROOFS IS $7250 !!!
