Great Britain 1973 3p "County Cricket 1873-1973" imprimatur, SG928var.
A superb unmounted mint, with full original gum, right hand marginal horizontal pair of imperforate imprimaturs each with a "BPMA" handstamp on reverse showing printing variety "Broken 7 in 1973" in position R4/9.
A unique marginal pair from the first approved printing sheet released by the British Postal Museum in 2014.
Exceptional provenance as it was released from the British Postal Museum Archives in 2014. Prior to this it was stored in the museum archives in climate controlled vaults since being printed and is therefore in uncirculated mint condition.
