KGVI 2/6d brown 'square high values' COMPLETE Unmounted Mint Never Hinged SHEET of 40 (8 x 5), with selvedge. Large multiples/complete sheets of this 'key' high value are becoming increasing rare to find. Unmounted mint singles sell for £50 each retail so that 40 examples in a complete sheet should command in excess of £2,000 retail with a total SG catalogue £4,000(+), however this is counterbalanced by condition with 'flat' original gum, reverse aging and couple of diagonal creases which barely affect the impact of this remarkable find. Attractive and increasingly rare in this format - we believe this complete sheet of the key 2/6d value to be worth £1,275 Cat £4000 (image available) [US2] (Start Price = £799.20)
