99.9% Of Catalogue Value

The value of a block of 4 stamps does not equate to the value of a single stamp multiplied x 4.

It could be a the value of 100 times a single or 3 times a single, it all depends on the rarity and demand of blocks against singles.

I would willingly pay 20 or even 50 times catalog value for many items I collect for a block of 4 and some only 1 1/2 times a single as they are common in multiples,

the key word is rarity in your statement.

get them for a lot less. Why the secrecy in the scott catalog number

People (not just this topic) ask for your opinion
but do not want
to give you all information needed to make
give a honest assestment.

Let the topic die.

Whatever the stamp, I agree with the op that its ridiculous to offer a stamp at 99.9% of cv. Go with 100% cv instead of making it seem like a deal when the savings (off cv, of course, not potential real world value) in this case is about a nickel. Or ask for a dollar amount, and it probably would not be $47.96. Check my math, but isnt that a buck discount on a thousand dollar stamp?

I am 99.9% sure that this offer is both insulting and confusing.
