The Stamps Of Turkey / Turkiye: On Steiner Pages.

An unusual (for here, at least), but rather pricey mint lot

https://www.warwickandwarwick.com/a...logue/192784

Best collection I have seen Geoff.
Splendid material,
Awful presentation by the auctioneer, images scroll without page numbers.
From what I can see well worth the reserve.
As some describe..."fresh"

Yes, images of collections on most of the sites I look at are pretty disappointing. The assumption is still that you're there and looking, whereas most of their business must be via e-mail, agents etc. However, I've had pretty decent purchases from W&W over the years, and their service is excellent.

Nice collection would need a lot of time to study the scans to find out what is in complete sets or if the better stamps are there .

1971 AirPost.
Steiner Page 56.

The 250 Gurush, has Gold print, applied Thermographically.



Post Offices in the Turkish Empire.
Russia.
Steiner Page 98.

Scott: For the Posts of Gen. Peter Wrangel's army, and the civilian refugees from South Russia interned in Turkey, Serbia, etc.

(Assume Reprints)

So how about a game of Spot - the - Gem?!

Can't get the link as the auction is over. So not showing 6 more pictures of common stamps - only showing relevant picture - makes the game easier!!

Lot sold for $20.49 + S&H. All for one stamp...

An extreme rarity - that I have seen only a few times. I was outbid due to cheapskate-ness, enhanced by the very poor pictures & general unwillingness to bid at true value!

Scott # will suffice...

B25 ?

I share your caution, I am constantly met with poor scans of Turkey, especially on pages, and you just have to take a punt on the outcome.
My forgery of the 25pi is a typical scenario.

That said, if it is B25, I would have risked a tad more, but dashed if I can see it is a 1908 stamp.

B25?? Come on...nothing even resembling a 10 piastre A19 design on this page...scan isn't that bad!!

Nice page of RUSSIA -Wrangel issues .

I feel like I am back at school, in Math class...........




Thanks FT, I don't see us ever completing that collection..........

ROD -Just put up my Russian Offices in TURKISH EMPIRE .

Indeed, and what a show stopper.
With what is shown, a perfect collection.

Just had an email, I won 500 Turkey stamps, at auction, for $1.99 + ship.
I wasn't expecting that.

Thanks for the nice words .

I don't know why I am risking that feeling of being back in math class... My favorite answer there was "3"?

But yolo. Scott# 342a?

Nicely done Raymodj...342a it is. You must've been a whiz in math class?!!

This variation is the 1st stamp in the 3rd row. The full series is in the 2nd row. This one was overprinted on Scott #162, as opposed to the normal 153.

2017 CV is $110.

The first 3 stamps in the series all have variants like this - overprinted on a different stamp. You rarely see these...
