These are listed in the Scott Specialized Catalog. I believe it's Perf. 9.75 Vertical, in which case it would be a TD107 (in use 1962-1988), however, there are varieties, including shiny gum, dull gum, tagged, untagged, pebble-surfaced gum tagging, etc. Basic value for shiny gum variety is $0.50 each and $5.00 (line pair). The dull gum varieties are a bit higher in value.

Got one of these in a lot recently. It's perf 10 with shinny gum. Did Jamestown identify this correctly - 1988?

thanks

My 2013 Scott Specialized lists the stamp varieties as:

TD107 - $0.50
TD107a - $0.50

Maybe the values went DOWN from that quoted by Kevin504? However, I just checked my 2011 catalog and the same $0.50 values were noted.

I have seen very large rolls of several of these varieties (several hundred to a few thousand on a roll). They are fun but really common.

Kevin504: Can you verify if the 2014 Scott Specialized is really suggesting the values of these stamps have spiked that much? (I suspect the values noted maybe pairs, strips or line pairs, not individual stamps.)
