VERY RARE! 1961 AFGHANISTAN "UN" Day ERROR POSTAGE STAMPS 3 Sheets # 601-603 IMPERF ERROR

The 3 Afghanistan Sheets of 1961 Stamps Included In This Lot Were Never Issued Imperforated As Shown. The Intended Issue Of These Stamps Were In Sheets Of 50 Each, But With Full Perforations (See Picture # 8, Perforated All Sides) For Normal Postage Sales. As Well, Two (2) types of Souvenir Sheets (Of Only 3 Stamps) Were Issued For Collectors Honoring The United Nations. They Are Shown In The Last 2 Pictures (One Set Perforated - Other Set Not Perforated). These 3 Sheets Represent The Postal Issue Of 50 Stamps Each, And Somehow Slipped Through The Perforation Process... Hence, VERY RARE & Sought After. Research Indicates These Stamps Represent A Previously Unknown Error. Acquired By A United States Political Office Member Stationed In Afghanistan Who Also Happened To Be A Stamp Collector, Noticing The Error While Purchasing Stamps At The Local Postal Office and Therefore Acquiring All Sheets On Hand. This Offering Is The First Of That Acquisition.
