#2223c, 2223 var., 22c Arctic Explorers, se-tenant block, black omitted from top stamps, two blocks of four that at one time comprised the third and fourth rows in the sheet with the black omitted from the top three rows, thus yielding two blocks and a pair of #2220b from the top two rows, and these two errors (and a pair) from the next two rows, therefore both of these blocks are unique errors, o.g., n.h., very fine; this is the first time these have been offered at public auction; for some reason, Scott only lists (but doesn't price) one of these.
