Rag Content? Here´s From The Back

Hi everybody!
Guess this is the right one to pick bluish.

I'd say....none are bluish.

Thanks Kevin, but I´d say there are bluish in there...

Send the ones you think are on blueish paper in for certification. I'm with Kevin in that none are on blueish paper.

IMO none are blue paper.
don

None of these are on bluish paper. If you believe there are, ask Bill Wiess for an opinion. His service is appropriate for you to get an opinion without incurring too much expense. Good Luck.

Thanks everybody for your comments. Observing in microscope, bluish is more black points watch than normal issues? Does someone knows?

Yup! None of these are on blueish paper. Once you see blueish paper you will be able to spot a little easier. I ended up buying one so I had a reference.

OK....this is why most with some knowledge get tired of answering these questions.
1....you ask a question.
2....someone gives you a answer.
3....you disagree, and still believe your original thought.

Well....this is what you do....
There are about 4 good certifications services out there.
Please choose 1 (or more) and send what you believe to be what you think to them....
OR....keep what you have and believe it is what you think.

Sorry....the bearer of the bad news is always the bad guy.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi kevin, I think you´ve just overreacted. I believe in what they said, just try to fill any gaps. I´m thankfully with all this nice guys answering my request. And I do really understand what you mean, I don´t want to bother anyone. Thanks!

No bother, I think the issue is that many people pop up on the Forum thinking they have a rare (rarish) stamp and asking for a validation of that off a scan, which can have many variables. I personally would not go on ebay and buy an item because it was attested to as having been "Confirmed by the guys on Stamp Community.org" ....not that I don't respect the opinions expressed here. There are people who provide that certification service and it costs money, but if you actually do have an item that is rare then it should be worth your time and expense to have it certified. John

...thanks John. I have a lot to go on.

Mestal, please understand that we all love to help out. You are not bothering anyone and we look forward to seeing more of your collection.
That being said please understand that some of the people answering your questions have been studying these stamps for over 20 years.

I also want to point out that some decisions are based on color and appearance, and scans really do not do much justice. The opinions expressed by many on this board are based on many, many years of experience in actual viewing, touching, close examination of the stamps in question. This new fangled internet has allowed quicker review of problems, but still suffers from the fact that things are not actually held.

Mestal went about it in the right way, asking for opinions, then presenting the stamps in the correct way (multiple examples against the correct color background). I applaud him for his persistence. Unfortunately, the consensus remains that the odds of any of these being the right stamp are very low, and I also agree with that viewpoint. But, as has been proposed, there are more ways to skin a cat, and one of those is to get a "real expert's" opinion. If you think it is worth your time and money, please send it out for expertization.

In any case, thanks for being part of this board and please submit more questions -- with pictures (we love pictures)...

Stallzer, Stallzer, please understand that I had understood. Instead of telling me, just read what kevin posted and you will understand that I didn´t bother and what I said was just to make kevin feel better. I just tried to be nice. I know you guys are way much more deeply knowledge on this.
Or maybe I just don´t get what I should need to understand? If you´ll be more specific, will be great. Thanks!
