SCOTT #740-49 ASSORTED PRICES 1 CENT TO 10 CENT

 

President Franklin Roosevelt personally oversaw the selection of these stamps!  They were issued during the National Parks Year of 1934, advertising the national parks system.  In 1935, the series was issued imperforate as part of the infamous “Farley’s Follies” scandal…

  1. How exactly were these released? I have seen these in many different pairs and blocks? I know that 5 were released at sheets (766-770...6 and 25 stamp panes), the others not much more info available. What was the number of stamps originally for a sheet before they were broken into pairs or blocks? I have seen pics that some have lines between pair blocks both horizontally and vertically, but also no lines between.
