Pairs with Gutter-margin : INDIA - 89 series


INDIPEX-2011 is round the corner. One will recall the series of 8 stamps (and 2 MSs) issued during 4 months of 1988 -1989 in commemoration of INDIA-89 World Philatelic Exhibition; depicting philatelic themes on all stamps and beautiful layout of stamp sheetlets with Panes and wide Gutter-margin between each Pane. This set of 8 pairs is highly collectible item, though, missing in most collections!! No mention of these pairs is made in philatelic magazines, articles, catalogues, websites or auction-catalogues. This reflects the genuine unavailability of these classic "modern antiques".
