Those pages are amazing to have and to study. Wow.
From just reading on SCF here over the years I know that there can be different forgeries of older stamps that people collected anyway at the time. Some are worth smoney too.
Hi This is a Tuscany old state 6 crazie, two different issues called Marzocco (Mediceo lion ). 1851 light blue or grey paper ,crown and line watermark 1857 white paper,wavy lines watermark Catalog values 1851 Sassone 7 or 1857 Sassone 15 Euro 400 market value 10-25 % of catalog value.
Milan, you have been very helpful!! So what is the difference between the catalogue value and the market value? I've noticed this on ebay when the catalogue value is printed, but the stamp is up for sale at a much reduced rate.
The market value is often determined by the real condition of the stamp. The stated catalogue value is used to give an impression of worth to the stamp, perhaps overdone at times but then, at others, less than it is actually is worth.
Always hoping for the auction to bring in a higher price from enthusiastic bidders.
