Undiscovered for decades…

Get the Only Known Block of 9 Imperforate Wine Stamps 


This is your chance to own a piece of philatelic history very few collectors are aware of… the imperforate 1940 14-2/5¢ green Wine stamps (#RE96Ab).  

 

Just One Block of Nine and Three Pairs Discovered!


This imperforate variety remained hidden and unknown for decades.  It wasn’t until the early 2000s that it was discovered in the vaults of the Smithsonian National Postal Museum.  This was the first time imperforate examples had ever been seen.  The National Postal Museum lot is the ONLY source of these imperforate rarities.  And Mystic was lucky to acquire most of them!

 
The block of nine is one-of-a-kind, in premium condition – mint with very fine centering, never-hinged and ungummed, as issued.  It’s beautiful and historic.  Since only 15 stamps exist, getting the block of nine would make you the owner of 60% of all RE96Ab stamps!  

 

In addition to the block, we have one of the three imperforate pairs from the National Postal Museum find.  And it’s in the same premium condition – also a rare and stunning addition to your U.S. Wine Revenue stamp collection.  It’s not every day you have the opportunity to get something no one else can have, but today, it’s your turn.  If you want to be THE ONE to own the important block-of-nine rarity call Mystic right away.  Easy time payments are available and interest-free.  

 

As a special favor to you… if you would prefer to own a block of four imperforate Wine Revenue stamps, we will carefully separate it from our block of nine.  And whatever rarity you order will come to you encapsulated in museum-quality material to protect your stamps.  Your satisfaction is guaranteed.  


Did you know?  


By law, Wine Revenue stamps could only be sold to proprietors of bonded wineries, store rooms, and warehouses.  The use of Wine Revenues on bottles, railroad tankers, and other containers was also heavily regulated.  The stamps had to be affixed to the container securely and in plain view, exposed to weather and other harsh elements.  Winery proprietors were required to destroy the stamps when their containers were emptied.  Collectors were barred from owning Wine Revenue stamps until 1949; even then it was difficult or impossible to find mint copies.  High face values made them expensive for even wealthy collectors.    

 

Some denominations were printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing but were never delivered to the IRS.  Between their high cost, rules forbidding collectors from owning the stamps, and wear and tear on them during use, it’s no wonder the stamps are so scarce today.  


Just think, now you can own extremely scarce Imperforate Wine Revenue stamps!
