I have seen the examples of a "LOW TRAIN". Swedish tiger shows the lowest example that sold for $900.00 and states that the prices vary as to how low the train is. Here is my best example. How low can you go?

$900 for that??????? I guess when people have money it's easy to just throw it away.

Placements of the image in the center always vary on these types of stamp designs. Why would this be so unusual?

...Well, since there seems to be something to this I don't understand, I saw this on ebay for 175.00.

There is a variety know as "fast Train" but I thought the front of the Train has to be extended into the border?

Rev - the one pictured at the top of this thread is one owned bu the poster, not the one that sold for $900.

IBFS - yes the registration varies, but when it gets far enough out of whack, some collectors consider it desireable. Same as perf centering - perfect is best, ave is worst, but then if it gets really far off the EFO people like it.

I know. I looked at the one that sold for $900 and I was not impressed even a little bit.

There are also 'rising trains'. It seems more common then $900's worth.

Wow. That is low. Much lower and it would be off the paper. But to tell you the truth, I like nicely centered things, not really being into EFO's and such.

That one has a 3-d look about it. Neat.

Congratulations on your victory.
