Due to the longevity of this series and print runs of hundreds of millions there were a lot of plate flaws. Mostly minor and not worth much but interesting nevertheless. Here are a couple of pages from the 2000/2001 Austria Netto
Katalog (Prices in Schilling) showing some of the varieties.  |

Litho: I may have to check my collection re this second issue you mention. My old Scott 1975 catalogue doesn't mention a later second series with the "a" addendum that I can see. Sure as heck years ago I've lumped the new in with the old. |

Gee, now I feel bad that I even mentioned it.  Well BC, looks like it's back to the drawing board.  You know that there is no such thing as completion when you're dabbling in stamps. |

litho, is the whole Netto catalogue this good? Or is the treatment of this issue an anomaly?
(And by "good" I mean level of detail, color illustrations, etc...) |

BeeSee, with the 4.50 I definitely have at least one of each type. I may have some of the others as well.
Yes, I'm referring tocircular datestamps. If you don't have any good ones from Australia or NZ, I also collect German and Austrian datestamps (through to 1945) and pre-WWI GB. |

And if you really want to get serious, there is a Gindl catalogue for plate flaws for this series. 181 pages, 2630 errors! Here's a sample page from the catalogue. http://www.plattenfehler.at/trachten.pdfHooray for catalogues that list plate flaws for definitive stamps! I like this sort of stuff, searching through the piles of common stuff. Ryan |

And if you really want to get serious Wow. I think Netto-type listings would be plenty of information for me. But it is nice to know that someone is out there assembling this sort of information in one place, instead of leaving it scattered through forty years of society publications (not that there's anything wrong with that). |
