Some of you might know that I put some revenues up
for auction after failing very badly at evaluating
them in the catalog. I read them as valued at about
40 bux for the pair, when they were more like 160 cv.

Here are some more, this time I am seeking more
experienced opinions on condition/value.

They are currently hinged to a loose album page.

Value is in the mind of the beholder and whether or not you have any other copies for your album. Assuming you have no other copies;

1. Space Filler - Missing upper right corner and scraped
2. Space Filler - Hole in middle of stamp
3. Space Filler - Big chunk missing from top of stamp
4. Space Filler - Bad Cut Cancel

That being said, I have a lot of revenues and a lot of duplicates and what a space filler is for me may be a jewel for someone else. A space filler is great to have when you have no other sduplicates.
They are worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

Sorry if I offend,
Art

Art, I agree with your assessment.

You won't offend me with that.
I know they are flawed.
I was just checking.

I'll take the 1st one right now! Missing corner and all (as a space filler). But to be fair (and honest) look up R135a 1st. Then you might want to have a knowlegeable and reputable dealer look at it to confirm. Followed by getting a certificate!

The others are all very common as a lot you MIGHT get a buck or 2.

Thanks for the tip!
I don't have the stamp handy right now, I'll have to look at it later.
I can't recall if it was orange or red (vermilion) in hand... ???
I have extremely bad color judgement when it comes to stamps.

A quick way to check if it is the vermilion is to put it right next to an R145 or R148. If it's exactly the same color, odds are it's the error.

Telling from a computer scan is impossible.

That would be easy, but I only have a small handful of revs,
and those numbers aren't in the mix. Nothing red-ish...
