Big Blue Syria

My BB 1941 shows Syria Sc #105b error stamp. The stamp is listed in my 1938 Scott catalog but no mention in recent Scott. What is the story please?

I don't have a 1938 catalogue, so the "error" stamp might have been listed as Scott 105b then. But my 1947 Scott has the 1923 issue "25c on 10c green" error stamp listed as Scott 106c, and so it remains in the 2014 Scott Classic Specialized catalogue.

Normally, the 10c green was surcharged/overprinted with "Syrie Grand Liban 50 centimes"- Scott 106- CV <$1.

But the "Syrie Grand Liban 25 centimes" surcharge/overprint, found on the Scott 105 5c orange was, by error, applied to the 10c green.

Hence the Scott 106c "Syrie grand Liban 25 centimes" surcharge/overprint on a 10c green- CV $240!

And then Big Blue (Scott International 1840-1940 Part I album) gave the rare "error" stamp a space!

Bob Skinner, the author of "Filling Spaces" blog, talks about the rarest stamp to have a space in Big Blue here...

I've got a ton of stuff about this surcharge error on my blog, but it boils down to this is a stamp that should never have been in the "Blue," an album originally intended for beginning collectors. It is even harder to find a copy than the catalog value indicates. The error is listed in all the Scott catalogs to my knowledge, but the catalog number has sometimes been 108a and sometimes 108c in more recent years. (Is it really 105b in the 1938 catalog?--I wouldn't be surprised!)

There was an auction recently that had multiple copies, probably the most that ever been on the market at one time.

Whoops: I didn't see Jim's post before I wrote this. I also forgot that I don't have a signature with a link to my blog. But fortunately Jim gives the url.

Yes my 1938 Scott lists Syria #105b and my 1942 lists Syria #106c. Thank you.
