They
say that stamps with jumbo borders attract pretty good prices. Hmmm….let’s
see if the market agrees in this sampling from the past 4 years:

It’s
pretty clear collectors like these stamps with their jumbo borders and
are willing to pay a good premium to acquire them. Of course this doesn’t
happen just in Canada, but is the case in all countries. We find these
stamps particularly attractive and envy the owners.
