Does Anyone Collect Canada Medallion Stamps (# 195 - # 201)?

Does anyone collect Canada Medallion stamps # 195 - # 201 ?

I have a face set, but I don't specialize in them or have many varieties even.

Yes, why?

I collect all of Canada but don't particularly specialize in the Medallion stamps.

I'd like to know what the point of this thread is? I'm not being sarcastic. Is there a message coming about these stamps that, in my ignorance, I don't get? I have a complete mint set of them, but, like others, no varieties. Stamporator, the plate blocks are great; would be great to see more of them. Much as I like this set, they are my least favourite of the KGV Canadian definitives - much prefer the "Scroll" issue, the "Arch/Leaf" series and the "Admirals".

Talking about medallions, A friend just sent me an image of a postcard with a 2c medallion stamp used in 1934, cancelled in New Westminster, BC. The card depicts the bridge over the Fraser River from Surrey, before the current (and soon to be obsolete ??)Patullo Bridge was built a few years later.

I am interested in Medallion covers:

Interestingly, the rotary press stamps are perforated around 11.20+ x 10.90+ while the flat press stamps are perforated 10.90+ x 10.90+ which is due to one same bar and wheel perforator being used for rotary press stamps and two different wheel perforators being used for the flat press stamps. The bar gives the 11.20+ perforation while the wheels give the 10.90+ perforations.

Do you consider sc 192 as part of the Medallion issue?

Not usually, but it is a kind of forerunner that influenced the issue and it is usually collected with it for reference.
