The major faults are:

-- multiple missing perfs on left side toward top
-- multiple missing perfs on bottom toward right
-- average centering (perfs cut well into frame line at left)

Unless it is a rare stamp, lesser grade/condition cuts down on the retail value significantly.

The faults don't matter as much to a cancel collector, but also won't be completely disregarded.

You're welcome!

It's a nice collection. Please consider taking up your grandfather's collection. My mother's collection is what got me started.

I'm 62 myself. Not sure I want to start collecting anything. And I could always use cash. Any idea what a reasonable (to me and the buyer)BUY IT NOW price might be on ebay?

Thanks.

Paul, that is a hard one. If I had your problem I would scan ebay AND Delcampe both for small collections like that to get an idea.

Don't worry Paul. You're never too young to start stamp collecting!
