Block collectors: Do you collect all varieties WITHIN a block?

Does anyone seek out those block varities where they changed mid span such as the 1934A KA $5 SCs or perhaps, for example the SC block 1935A $1 SC with these varieties:

1935-A $1
S00000001C - S39996000C Blue Seal
S39996001C - S54996000C Hawaii
S54996001C - S70884000C Blue Seal
S70884001C - S72068000C Experimental Red R
S72068001C - S73884000C Blue Seal
S73884001C - S75068000C Experimental Red S
S75068001C - S99999999C Blue Seal

    Yes, absolutely.



    As a block collector, I would collect from your example above:



    SC blue seal (1st print)

    SC Hawaii

    SC R

    SC S



    And for the blocks with mules / LFP's, those too.
  • Yes! I especially like the middle run between the red R & S Experimentals.

    Generally not. But will buy them when I recognize them.



    I've been trying to put together the $5 SC 1934-A KA blue/yellow set in CU. I also have the $1 SC 1935-A SC between the R and the S.

    Me too , but have found the run between Hawaii and Red R to be tougher in CU

    I don't. I only collect blocks on $5 SC and LT notes and don't care about special runs like in the KA. I don't do $1 SC's except for a basic series type set in high grade.

    Yes, only for very advanced collections. You could spend a lot of money seeking these rarities out as ALL $1 Hawaii and North African were printed from Blue Seal runs

    I try, but with some quite hard to come by it is 100 times harder for me.
