I just picked up a 2011 Unitrade. This is referred to as "ghost" print, doubled red. Catalog value varies between $50 in VF NH for strong impressions to $10 for slight shadow doubling. |

I would say your example is on the more $10 end of the catalog value, then, as the doubling is minor (but definitely visible). |

Wert: my 1991 Scott Specialized Catalogue of Canadian Stamps describes it as Scott#539i ghost print, red doubled. My catalogue may be of some value now as it describes the stamp as May 7, 1971 L.J. Paineau, when the person who is depicted is Louis Joseph Papineau. |

This is from my Darnell Stamps of Canada catalogue. 1997 It's not a real sharp illustration in the catalog but to me the only difference is that the "ghost print" has slightly fatter lettering.  As you can see Darnell calls it an inconstant variety whereas Unitrade claims it's constant. Who's right I wonder? |

Both companies are not fly buy night companies, so it must be a matter of "we will do it this way in our catalogs" procedure.

lithograving: where in the Unitrade does it "claim" that this variety is "constant"? |

studystamps asked: Quote:
lithograving: where in the Unitrade does it "claim" that this variety is "constant"? Right in Unitrade's Introduction Harris the editor states: ".......it is impossible to include every stamp variety...........
we have specifically not included perfins, colour shifts, minor
shade varieties, non-constant plate varieties and the like
(unless they have already existed in a previous version of the catalogue)Later on in the Introduction it defines Constant Plate Varieties. |

I don't see where that says, or even suggests, that this particular 6c ghost print variety is a "constant" variety? |

If Unitrade specifically states it does not include non-constant (or as Darnell calls them inconstant) varieties
then obviously they only list constant varieties so unless there is any additional note beside # 539 which there isn't then I would say the catalogue means it's a constant variety. |
