Why is there a pen and cork cancel on the same stamp? Blue spots from the scanner? He should clean it. Not a good deal. |

good point, though he did agree to conditional sale based on a favorable certification and that no other faults were on the stamp. |

With the filled thin at the top, I think you'd be unhappy when you had it in your hands. I'd keep looking, myself, unless I needed one right now (for some reason). |

yeah you are probably right. I knew about the thin...
the last 6 stamps I have bought have all been returned because of fake cancels or faults not mentioned in the sale.

It's cheap for a reason, and those spots are probably oxidation. I don't like it, it has problems.
Like I said, $10-20 on a spacefille? You lose $10-20. $150 on a spacefiller? That's a lot of money to lose. |

yes it is advertised as oxidation and the filled thin.
I am passing it by anyway. The more I think about it the more I don't like it.
and you know what, I have a 78, so I don't need a 70 or 99, it's basically the same stamp. |

It's not the same stamp :)
But I am working on a display of 24c Shades.... I THINK I might have gotten my mitts on a decent copy of the holy grail to complete said set... :-D
Said display would include about 30-35 stamps. |

Oh, and that's what I call a tragedy... shame because it's somewhat well centered for an F grill. |

The filled thin ?
could you tell by the scans, or
was that from the accompanying advice?
I can't see it myself.

Stampvirgin I appreciate the offer..but this way I have a #90 ! So I guess you know how I feel about 143 dollars for that stamp...that guy might get lucky and sell it..but could you eventually find a buyer for it ?? |

Phil,
The centering hurts it more than the cancel. If it's sound it's probably worth 20-30% of cat.
SV, if you really want a 99 I may have an extra one that I don't need. Basically with centering like the one you posted but no faults. |
