Space Fillers

I couldn't believe that this stamp, with completely trimmed perforations, got a final bid for almost 15% of the catalog value.

Is the "Paid" cancelation a possible clue why this one gone so high with the final price?

$46 for the space filler with $325 cv.

Top, left and bottom are cut so close or into the image that it could be a trimmed perforate stamp. But with a right margin being so large it might be a Scott #12 which was issued imperforate and much more valuable than the perforated variety. However it may be nearly impossible to prove that it is a Scott #12.

Surprised that stamp in that poor condition did receive such a high percentage of catalog .I thought 5% would be more like it .When you start looking at some of the larger stamp auctions and sellers like Dr. BOB ,they both have better than average U.S. going at 1/3 catalog and many very good to fine stamps selling in the 30 % of catalog and starting to see a lot of better worldwide sets falling into that same range .

it certainly makes a difference where you shop..if you find a good dealer on the internet stick with him !

It assuredly is trimmed. Look closely along the top edge. You can see the residual perfs.
