Nugget's Scott # 87

Just thought I'd post this Scott #87 I've just received in the mail,It's not well centered and has some thins though I would call it an inexpensive a hole filler it's still a Scott #87,what do you think about it.

Thanks for looking

Harry, I'm pretty sure it's in better shape than mine!

Yours is looking pretty great to me at this point!

Heck, it's even in better shape than I am. Great hole filler.



Butch

Good one, Butch!

k

A good example with a very bold grill!

Thanks Kim,Butch and Tom It is a very strong grill and that's what attracted me to this #87,as for the centering I suppose I'm a little pedantic with my stamps and when I buy something that's a little off center I tend to worry about it maybe a little to much,also for the price I paid for it the #87 came rather cheep and that would be because of the centering/thins I think so really I shouldn't worry about hunting for another more centered one and be happy with the one I have.
thanks for your support

Harry

Hi Harry.......


A nice grill, in this case is worth as much or more than good centering.......a lot of collectors have space fillers from the grilled group......a real nice #87 can be quite expensive.

Thanks for showing Harry, I just looked at my #73..centering is about the same..fat on one side and into the frame on the other !

Harry,

This issue is notorious for poor centering. A well-centered Blackjack commands a real premium.

I'm pretty sure my Blackjack is missing several teeth.

Now Butch, tell you me you're in better shape than that!

These are my #73's there a little more centered though the top one's a bit on the tatty side but still is well centered .



Tell me the truth how many of you have seen these this well centered



P.S.Sorry about the focus just old eyes I guess.

The very clear grill is an eye catcher. It makes up for centering. Personally, I would not classify it a "space filler".

Good solid grill on that one Harry.

Also, finally got your pack on the way but forgot the bonus pack. It was still sitting on the desk when I got back home. So next mailing you get two bonus packs.

Thanks Mac and that's not a problem mate,I hope to be trading with you for many more years to come.

nice stamps!

Harry, a hole filler is better than a hole in my opinion.



I have only seen two 73's in my life (in person).
One in Bandicoots collection, and one he gave me.
I can't remember what his was like, but mine is a bit off centre.
