Canada #13 Prince Albert Pence Issue

I am looking forward to obtain this stamp^... at a good price of course!
Any suggestion on where I can get it at a reasonable price?

There is one listed on APS stamp store

Gary Lyon is offering a spectacular copy on his website ... but it is not cheap.

koala: What are your criteria? Mint? NH? Used?

Terry

That Lyon copy is great but nearly $35,000 mint. I would like a 13 that looks great, lightly cancelled, centered nearly very fine or better, and with a small thin, or crease not visible from front.

Crouse27: If you get dupes I'd be happy to help you out with storage.

Terry

tlmcca : not a mint copy or a space filler damaged enough to be classified as a space filler

Looking for :
Used, small bend, or tear, or creased...

koala: I did some searching and other than the example on APS mentioned above http://www.ebay.com/itm/Canada-Scot...em1c560f2be2 is the only one I found and the asking price is US$1,037.87. It was relisted after failing to sell in July at US$1,115.99.

I know absolutely nothing about the seller although the rating is 99.9% positive. Caveat Emptor.

tlmcca : thanks for your help



I had a discussion with this ebay seller SCANDIMAN
It is obvious his stamp have been reperf, meaning seriously altered, dammaged, almost ruined the stamp at a point to be sold as a space filler... less than $1000.00 on my point of vue

He told me that a potential buyer offered him $1,000.00 if he add it on ebay which he did. It's been there for over a month and the potential buyer never showed up!

This conversation occured last week. Should I be surprised to see that this vendor kept his item to be sold at this ridiculous price? No I'm not... he is waiting for a fish...

He asked me to make an offer...I refused because I did not want to insult him with a ridiculous offer ($100.00). He said he would not sell it under $500.

Does it worth $500.00? Any comment from the Community?

Are you sure that stamp really is a Canada 13? Based on the margins, it looks like it might be an ugly #5 with the perforations added.

I don't like the way that the spacing of the perforations are misaligned, when you match the left side to the right and the bottom to the top.

Agree with you chipg, good observation,it might be a #5.
the perf are to perfectly cut
