High stated cv???
Tone spots???

Too many sellers play games with 'catalog value'. Catalog value is virtually meaningless if the seller doesn't bother to list which catalog they are referring to; there can be large deltas between a Scott value and a Brookman value. And which year (version) catalog? Again significant differences can exist in the same catalog but separated by a few years. Look it up yourself and ignore what the listing puffery says. Also make your own call on the condition.

to me stamps like that need a cert and they would tear that one up
