The following offering of EXPO '67 die proofs includes progressive color and die proofs of the four door stamps of the five stamp series. Catalog numbers are from the final unpublished supplement of the Gaines catalog. The proofs come on both gummed and ungummed paper and are either hand numbered in red ink or rubber stamped in black ink. These color and die proofs represent one of the most recent new discoveries in UN philately.
