About This Issue

Scott #C78, issued in 1967, represents the final era of the classic U.S. Airmail series, using a clean modernist jet silhouette in bright carmine red. Precancelled sheet multiples from this period are significantly less common than their earlier definitive counterparts, and attractive MNH blocks with selvage are especially desirable.

Why Collect This Block

This piece combines several areas of collector interest: a mint airmail block, a major-city precancel, and a consistent upward-strike variation. The positional selvage further enhances appeal, making it a strong choice for exhibition pages, specialty albums, and curated modern U.S. collections.
