Stamp Book

Ok guys you may think im stupid for this. I bought a new stamp book and I have a stamp thats either worth 10,000 or 120,000 dollars. for ten thousand, it says 11 Perf. (t). I have no idea what (t) means. the 't" represents a cross. The stamp already has a perferation of 11, I have no idea what (t) means. for 120,000 it just says Perf 11. so if you guys could help me it would help alot.

photo please

A photo would help a lot. Otherwise the country, estimated date, what the stamp depicts, etc. It would also be nice to know the catalog you are using -- Scotts, Yvert, etc.

Sorry, says error when I try to upload the image.

Probably too big. You need to get it to 100kb or less. Use the Free Image Optimizer for the quickest results.

Image must be having the 3 letter extension '.jpg', not JPG or jpeg.

Size on Disk must be a small slight less than 100kb, please use the image resizer link at top of screen when posting an image.

Image scan at 600 dpi and then reduce or resize.


The (t) may be a footnote indicator also, depending on which brand name catalogue you are using. Look at the borrom of page or at end or beginning of listings.

I can't think of a stamp where there are only two varieties and they are both big bucks. My guess is that there are more varieties and we need a whole lot more information to be able to help you, starting with a good picture. It would also be good to know what catalog you are using to be able to help with the footnote or "t".

Yeah, We would almost certainly need an image - a good image (like a scan @1200dpi)and a possible scott number even (if you have one or know what it is marked?) to be of any real help. I'll say this though, Don't hold your breath because sometimes stamps of high dollar value look identical to ones that are nearly worthless with the exception of the mark, watermark, shift, etc...etc... that makes it valuable and the reason they are as valuable as they are is simply because of supply vs. demand. Also, catalog value and "real world" values can be hugely different. I have some stuff that only a few are known to exist and aren't that valuable at all just simply because not enough people specialize in that particular area to be "fighting over" or "bidding against" against me for it...I'm having a bit of trouble explaining exactly what I mean, but do what you can to get an image or at least a scott catalog (or Michel catalog) number posted so we can help you out. -Jeff
