Scott # 582-585 Canada Stamp

Hi guys

I have a sheet of 16 stamps, Scott # 582-585.
When I look it up, it gives me a value for individual, and for a set of four.
Can anyone find what a value is for the 16 stamp block...???

4 x block value

Gilles le timbre...Just 4x block value...eh?
Might as well break them up into 4 blocks and sell them separately.
Maybe get a few more cents for them.

that is what I did with mine, and use the block of 4 (60c) as postage to fellow collectors

2012 Unitrade...

singles 582/3/4/5 = 2.00
singles 582p/3/4/5 = 2.75

blk of 582/3/4/5 = 8.00
blk of 582p/3/4/5 = 11.00

pane of 16 582/3/4/5 x 4 = 35.00
pane of 16 582p/3/4/5 x4 = 40.00

serious collector
Thanks for the info....I am SUPPOSE to be getting the 2012 Unitrade cat. for Christmas, can't wait...!
And I think a USB microscope to...

What does the "P" mean...???...This sheet is mint and never hinged.

Gilles le timbre...Instead of bugging everyone with my posts, maybe I should look on ebay first like you did...Would save everyone a lot of frustration and typing.

WERT, 2 very useful tools indeed.

The p means it's uv tagged. the ones without the p are not tagged.

After a point (somewhere in the low 600's) tagging became the default. So they stop putting the p beside those that are tagged.

p = phosphorescent tagging

Great guys...Now you are causing me to buy an UV lamp now...The equipment is more than my collection is worth....

The longwave UV lamp needed for Canadian ones, can be obtained pretty reasonably. I've seen them frequently for under $20 in various stamp supply mail over houses.

Here is one that's pretty reasonable

I picked one up at my local stamp supply dealer for around that price.

Thanks Dave9911....Good price, and you say it has to be a longwave UV lamp for all Canadian stamps...????

Will shortwave work...???

serious collector....Thanks for the prices.

Wert old buddy I have the same one as Dave9911 but it's not very good.
Not bright enough and brutal on batteries.

Much better of course would be the AC (plug in) type but
they cost a few more bucks than I'm willing to pay.


About 40 years ago I bought this Raytech plug in type which did
Long and Short wave, fluorescent & phosphorescent.
Great little tool, too bad it conked out but that was after I used it
for over 30 years.
Try to get something like that nowadays.

Maybe I will look for a Raytech equivalent then.
But, some one said (and I can't remember) that a long or short wave was not healthy for you...Is that correct...???

Yes, I have also heard that long exposure might cause eye damage.

So I guess use it sparingly.
