I Think I Have An Obsession With The Color "Pink" :)

Bought this lot on ebay for $22:



I'll be submitting them for certs when they arrive. Advertised as 5- #64b. I put my sniper on just over $100, and couldn't believe they went for $22.

Whether they are rose pink or not, I can see that they certainly look pink to me-- I have a certed 64, so it will be nice to compare them, but I'm almost wondering if there may even be a 64 in this lot. Really nice stamps on the top row-- really nice, perfect looking perfs on the middle stamp.

I'm hoping that TheSeal might jump in here with an opinion-- Ron?

Thanks, Ray

Thanks much, Ray

That top middle one is very pretty!
Good buy!

You know what is going to happen---the one at the end is going to be the money stamp!

Obsessed huh? I know how you feel. I'll see you at your first SA (Shades Anonymous) meeting!

I really like that lower right stamp. Great lot!

Nice variety of cancels too. Well done.

I love stamps!
You have a good eye

Not a bad grab even if they are all rose pinks. The top center is a very fine centered stamp which makes it very hard to find. In my humble opinion, just judging from the scan, the one that looks closest to a true pink is the scrubby looking one on the bottom right.
Speaking of picking up misidentified pinks. Check this out, the one on top is my certified pigeon blood. The one on the bottom has just closed at auction and I appear to be high bidder. Notice the lavender (blue'ish) tint to it. I will let you all know exactly what it is after I receive it.If it is a 64a it will be the second one this year for me from the same auction house.

Received the 5 I posted earlier back from Bill Weiss today-- did not ask for certs, because I noted some issues with the perfs, and really only needed the Identification service-- a great and reasonable service, by the way, when you don't intend to sell the stamps, and want to make sure it's what a seller says it was--



Turns out 3 of the 5 were "Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinners"! Even with a couple of small faults, I've got a few nice reference copies now, and hopefully know what 64b looks like now-- Ray

Forgot to add that the Identification service is $5.00 per item-- again, I feel is very reasonable-- Ray

Just did some Pink shoppin myself but will await their arrival. 2 lots of 9 and one lot of 6 with a range of shades in the sellers scans as well as grills to boot. Not sure what will be what, but with the wide range they look to cover the spectrum really well. My thought was to have a broad spectrum to differenciate in the future. Great deal Ray mac for $22. I'm keepin my fingers crossed for some 3cent birdy blood in my group.

Ron/ everyone -- did you catch the 3 center with stitch watermark in the other thread https://goscf.com/t/16647. Didn't know that was even an option.

Just to let everyone know, the stamp that Ron, AKA TheSeal, showed on this thread and thought it might be a 64a... well, it is! Ron is no longer a member and could not post his good news so, I thought I would share it with you. He received his Cert.
