1929 1c-10c Kansas, Nebraska overprints, complete set of sheets of 100, all of the Kansas stamps are never hinged, eight of 1c, 2c and 10c each of Nebraska stamps are hinged, other 92 stamps are never hinged, some with pencil notations on selvages, some usual centering, but the vast majority of stamps are fine-v.f., or better. A very rare set of one of the finest quality surviving sets of the Kansas-Nebraska sheets. With the demand for choice Kansas-Nebraska singles, sets and Plate Blocks, opportunities to acquire a complete set of sheets in the future will be rather difficult (last recorded auction realization was in a Siegel Rarity Sale in 2006, with $47,500 hammer)
