My New Beauties

a 32 and 33 vertical pair. Position 74R and 84R




a new 37


not too bad, eh?

The vertical #32 and #33 pair is way cool! Also a very nice #37. Congrats! Were these ebay purchases? I saw a similar #37 there and missed bidding on it.

I bought these direct from Gary Posner's website..
I took a shot and submitted two offers... I got a hell of a deal.

Curious- How can 2 different cat numbers come from a pair.
EDIT - Forgot to say DAMN there nice

Nitro.. they were two distinct types and were each given a cat#.

Daryl, nice pick-up, congrats.
Nitro, a 3 relief transfer roll was used for this plate. Rows 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8 are Type II (relief A); rows 3, 5, 7 and 9 are Type III (relief B) and row 10 is Type I (relief C).

Lovely. You must have a great collection.

and nicely cancelled, how I like classics.

Very nice snag indeed. I only wish I had em.

You mean like this?



Just kidding, was wondering the same thing, and since I only collect Canada, never knew it was possible.

I think the centering and appearance of the 32-33 pair, would qualify as XF.

"I think the centering and appearance of the 32-33 pair, would qualify as XF."

Sure... to dealers and delusional owners anyway.

Okay sinclair... perhaps VF then?

How about fine with a penalty for grunge/toning.

Definitions from PSE:

Very Fine - A Very Fine stamp will be off center on one or two sides, but the framelines will not be close to the edge on any side. All four margins will be unquestionably full, and well clear of the perforations.

Fine / Very fine - The stamp is noticeably off center with one or two sides significantly closer to the edge than the opposite side. But there is no question that there is white space between the frameline and the perforations.

Fine - A stamp that is quite off center on one or two sides with the edge of the design approaching the perforations. While close, the frameline cannot be touching the perfs. Some white space must be visible, though it may be very narrow.

Is the Brownish / reddish color on the left side part of a cancel or toning ?
