$1.50 stamps, large size

I have very little information about this series. These stamps appear to have been printed on cards, not booklets, and may show additional minor varieties similar to those seen on other stamps printed on cards. I have seen advertising for these stamps showing both the Cathedral Cove stamp and the Mount Maunganui stamp, but am unable to give details of when the design was replaced. Any additional information which could improve this listing is welcomed.

$1.50 stamps, normal size

I also have very little information about this series, and have not seen any of the types which were eventually replaced by the Cathedral Cove stamp either as stamps or as publicity material. Again, any additional information which could improve this listing is welcomed.
