A question for Canadian specialists about the issues sold in plastic pouches. I purchased mine removed from the pouch, but the pouch was included. Are they worth less if the pouch isn’t included? Are these ever left as issued in the pouch similar to how the unexploded USA booklets are treated? I mean are they considered more desirable sold “as issued?” Or - are they best removed from the plastic to avoid long term problems with the plastics? Here are a few examples from my collection. I also enjoy trying to find used copies of all of the perforation varieties ie sides, corners, etc. ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2024/06/24/41ab324c730e4687e629baac56d3835f.jpg) ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2024/06/24/9f974d4aa2441b22b8270602413044d1.jpg) ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2024/06/24/a3eb8813c66c96494f22d5f188c38cb6.jpg) A few used singles from these sheets - I need the elusive corners, but it’s lots of fun to hunt for them! ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2024/06/24/ec667f5ad75be2f35935e943660850e8.jpg)

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

philatelia the 2024 Unitrade quotes a premium for these mini sheets still in the cello packaging of 10 to 30% from the few I checked. The few I have come across I have left in the packaging. They are not something I go out looking for but if they are in old collections I get to pick through I keep them.

My Unitrade is rather old, 2006, and doesn’t specify condition for the packaging.
