GREAT BRITAIN 1973 (VARIETY) 3P CHRISTMAS STRIP MISSING ROSY MAUVE
3p Christmas top right corner traffic light strip x 5, PVAD gum, missing rosy mauve. Major error affecting the boy's outfit. Extremely scarce as just seven strips exist with this being the unique positional piece. Separated between stamps two and three otherwise fresh and fine. Mint never hinged. Offered with normal traffic light piece for comparison and Brandon certificate of authenticity. SG943ab; SC713avar; STC354/358a; GBR1886a
Note: the error was caused by a progressive dry print which left the top part of the sheet (number ending 0518) with rosy mauve missing and the bottom part with a weak wash. Just seven strips completely missing rosy mauve exist
