wert, I wouldn't make that offer to watermark.
watermark, I love varieties/re-entries, a two-for-one stamp is great. |

I bought this from a well known dealer so it was not inexpensive. However, the dealer had not noticed the major re-entry, which would probably have jacked the price up considerably if he had. So I still feel I got a good value. |

Hi watermark, Thankyou for answer my question, that is another new thing I have learned today, what a crease on the pre printing side looks like, even more treasure to look for, Thanks again, Turbo |

Watermark, What nice stamps you have, are you just lucky enough to find them or do you pay top prices for them? also as im a new comer to this forum can I ask you 2 questions?= on your post at the top you say pos.41 and 42, I presume this stands for position? and the 41 means its the 41st stamp in the block? also what is a re-entry? thankyou Turbo |

Hi TurboJay, The price I have to pay depends on a lot of things. I try of course to pay the least I can. I do get lucky once in a while and get a stamp quite inexpensively if the seller is unaware they have not recognized the stamp for what it is. My best buy in this regard is the third reported copy of Canada Scotts #32. I buy stamps as I can afford them of course if buying from a stamp dealer they tend to be more pricey. The position designation of stamps refers to the stamps position in the printed pane. A really good description of what a re-entry is can be found at http://re-entries.com/ along with many examples. |

Hi Watermark, Thankyou for your reply and information given plus the link, also I did read quite alot about your find, well done  sadly there is no stamp dealers where I live unless I travel 2hours on a bus 1 way, then 2 hours back again, that I cannot do sadly, and there are no auction houses also, so my only alternative is to buy from online sources or the evening paper 'adds', and normally they are snapped up quickly so never really get them, I do have a big stockpile of 'Kiloware' from the UK and now prepairing to watermark check them all, they include wildings,revenues,machin's and not sure what else as that is all I really know.
