Do You See The Color Difference?

no

Robi13, I see a difference in color between the two on top and the one on the bottom. I also realize that you can not compare the two from different sources - you should know that by now. Not only are they from two different scans, one is mint, the others are used and probably soiled.

Petert4522,
the 1st two are my stamps and I scanned them and wanted to know what others think about it the color difference, the 2nd image as just for verifying if its true regarding the illegal usage o the TWO instead of using number 2.

Summary:
I was asking for opinion only regarding the 1st image (my two stamps) and definitely not compering the 1st image (my two stamps) with the 2nd image (only one stamp showing), but you unfortunately missed the whole point and not just that... you go further by telling me what should I know and what I shouldn't compare etc. Dear Petert4522 I really don't need such answers and mainly when the person didn't understand the request or question in the first place.
If my posts or the questions inside them are not clear, its legitimate to ask me for clarification (I'm not a native speaker and I do mistakes).


Thanks for understanding,
Robi13

Robi, sorry for misunderstanding. You do need to make yourself clear - do not put up two different items with two questions without asking! We can not really guess at what you are asking.
The usage of the word "two" was not illegal. There was or is no law against it. But the UPU had rules against using stamps like this on out-of-the-country mail. That is the reason you see so many South East Asian stamps in their native tongue, but with western numerals!
As far as the difference in color on your two stamps - I do not see any. But it maybe helpful if you tell us what you think is the difference.

I also don't see too much difference in the first picture. The stamp on the right may be a lighter carmine, but the left one may have been soaked too long, and the paper may be redder making it look like a little darker carmine. And being a lower resolution scan sure doesn't help.

Partime,

thanks a lot, if it would help I can do hi res scan and upload, pls just let me know.

The next English word you should study is "gratitude".

Virtually all your posts request catalog numbers, values or identification. You're using this forum as a free catalog service, rather than studying catalogs on your own. With remarks like the one above, you're lucky to be receiving replies at all, and when someone does, sugar will get you more than spice.

Petert4522 and me exchange a lot of messages and I'm learning a lot from him and maybe just maybe he's learning too, but dear cipalermo1964 all of what I just wrote or wrote before is non of your business, and if my memory serves me well - I don't remember you replying to my posts at least not during the last 2-3 weeks - . I'm far away of telling you what you should and what you shouldn't do, but much more wiser people than you and me said "(if you don't know where you want to go, you'll never get there), (don't dance if there is no music) and (don't answer when there isn't a question)"

Now I would like to wish you a very nice weekend.

@ I just want to remind every member of stamp community that this is a place where people have to have questions, because those generate discussions and the final effect is learning and sharing knowledge and best practices, and you know what? The most stupid question is the one a person didn't ask.

Sigh ...

Robi13,
As a person who has 100+ posts asking for help, I assume that you are finding value with this forum and the feedback. Have you considered using the donate button as a good way to show your appreciation for all the help that you have been receiving?

Hi 51studebaker.
it has been a while, how are you? I hope you're doing well.

Is there a limitation stampcommunity.org concerning the number of posts per person, or a direct connection between the # of posts in one hand and the eligibility to ask questions or request help on the other hand?

I believe you didn't try to send a message to all the good people and members of this great knowledge sharing tool by telling that: if a person has got 100+ posts, the person should be already an expert and asking for help will make the person look ehmmm not smart, or?
Because assumption is the mother of all ----ups, I decided that its always better to ask rather than assuming this or that... now, coming back to your question from your post that I'm replying to, my answer is Yes.

carpe diem 51studebaker,
Robi13

@btw, I'm really interested in your opinion regarding the "10k, could the double headed eagle be inverted in ground area (ghost)? you have to look carefully" I posted, so I'm looking forward to read your comment and opinion on the 10k ghost thing. Thank you

Sorry, was trying to offer you some advice. Giving back to the community, as opposed to just taking, is what makes this forum work. And giving back, having consideration of others, is what will help a poster get meaningful replies. If you make a contribution to the community it will be noticed and appreciated.

My opinion is also that an approach of looking up the rarest varieties of a stamp and then believing that a person has a copy is not the best approach in identifying stamps. Yes, the 'hunt' of finding a rare stamp is fun but we should temper this understanding that rare stamps are just that; rare. If we work from the assumption that we have the most common stamps, we are less likely to make mistakes. And lastly I would point out that many folks here would rather teach then simply supply an answer. If the poster does not appear to be wiling to learn, they will stop helping.

You can take this advice or leave it, time will tell if you are heading down the best path.

Hi 51studebaker,

would you please be so kind and reformulate what you sent me, because honestly I'm lost trying to understand what you're telling me, please send it to me again, because I sometimes understand things in a different way than they were meant :(

Thanks
