No Listing For "Hayes" 1923 Perf 11 Rotary Press.

I can not find a listing for an 11c greenish blue HAYES perf. 11 with measurements of 19.25 mm x 22.5 mm. What would this be? New discovery?

692, 11x10.5

It could be 11x10.5 but is green.

Contrary to Scott's listing of the
692 as "light blue", you'll find very
few of them in light blue... as a
matter of fact, light blue is actually
the exception if you look at all of
the listings for it... most copies are
either greenish or blue-green...

If you want a REAL light blue, there's
a few of them you'll find in the link...

CoinWatcher....
YES...NEW DISCOVERY!
AGAIN....WORTH $2 MILLION DOLLARS....
LIST THIS ONE AT ebay ALSO....

I don't think $2 million is enough, after all the British Guiana brought $9 million and this is just as rare. It just needs a good story, found while searching for that rare Washington Bicentennial or something.

Agreed, a good story helps. But so does a catchy marketing name; perhaps use "RARE, ONE-OF-A-KIND, GREEN WITH ENVY HAYES"

Lets not let facts get in the way of a good story here. I am sure he already has it listed for some outrageous amount.

Some of the higher denomination flat plate stamps of the 1922 issue were printed on "special paper" left over from the conversion of booklet pane printing from flat plate to rotary press. The paper has horizontal grain instead of vertical grain normally used for sheet stamp production. The resulting stamps were somewhat wider and a bit shorter because paper shrinkage occurred in the vertical direction instead of horizontal. The 2010 Durland Standard Plate Number Catalog lists all of the plate affected for the 11, 12, 15, 20, 25 and 30 cent denominations, the Beacon air mail and the E13 flat plate 15 cent special delivery. Some of the plates are quite scarce.

For those in need of a laugh, here are all the ebay listings; the Envious Hayes is not among them but the 210 is sure to give many giggles, as are the revenues and several others.

cfrphoto, The information you provide in your posts is excellent. Thank you.

Plenty of material for StampSmarter in that link above.

I just finished watching the movie "The Flim Flam Man" and here is this thread, and several others.

Great way to pass a boring Sunday....sell $200.00 CV stamps for $35 and take criticism for doing it. You guys are cheap!

Above is a stamp I sold today....
it went for 99c....
Do you think that is feasible for buying it,
scanning it, listing fee, selling fee and PayPal fees??

It is what it is....
If buyers get some good deals they will be back.
As in baseball terminology...Try to hit a single
each time....they add up.
Not a home run all the time.

Kevin... you are so right... after the great
deal you gave me on the block of 537's two
months ago, (thank you) I browse through
your listings all the time...

June was a big stamp buy month for me, so
I pretty much spent my July stamp budget...
but "I'll be back" for more in August...
