British Columbia & Vancouver Island Catalogue Numbers

I recently acquired this British Columbia 2c on 3d Brown, Scott #8 (not my photo, it hasn't arrived yet). However, it is listed as Stanley Gibbons #28. Scott and Unitrade only list a total of 18 major numbers for BC & VI.

Can anyone tell me what additional stamps SG lists?

Gibbons list two shades of the British Columbia & Vancouver Island 2½d as GS 2 and 3; the imperf and perf 5c and 10c for Vancouver Island as SG 11-14, and the numbering of British Columbia starts at SG 21.

Goodness knows where the other numbers went. Tough luck if you're a perfectionist who insists on SG 1s of everything: you can't do it for British Columbia & Vancouver Island.

Thanks Tony, that explains the #28.

I guess at one time Gibbons listed the 2-1/2d imperf as #1 and perhaps removed it from the listings, as it was not issued imperf - that version is believed to be a proof.

Scott still wrongly lists the imperf as #1. Here is how the Scott numbers go:
