The Stamps Of Turkey / Turkiye: On Steiner Pages.

Any ideas how the vendor achieved this listing picture?

(Sold for $26.32 AUD)

The teaser was Row 2, Stamp 9.

Caveat.
The handstamps on Nos. P10-P29 are found double, inverted and sideways. Counterfeit overprints comprise most of the copies offered for sale in the marketplace.

Post Offices in the Levant : Great Britain : Sc#6 study.

"genuine"

ROD ---That scan must of been taken with a camera with high resolution .


Has anybody any information why this second stamp has a lined background in blue all my others have a flat blue background ?

Sorry,FT, no info here.

Really enjoying my new computer setup with Dual Monitors. (Win 7)
I can have my stamps on my main monitor, and the scanned catalogues above.

I bought a new Philips 21½ inch monitor for $58 and DVI adaptor $3

I can pick a stamp at random, and browse the catalogues at will.
Fabulous for flyspecking etc.
Just moving the cursor hops between screens.

A nice surprise from a $3 page of stamps from my dealer,
Sc#312 CV : $50 Used $8

Completes my (Used) 1915 Steiner Page 15 (Page CV $173 Used $38)

Both the 25 Piastre 1901 Foreign Postage, and the 1905, are the key stamps to this page.

Lost out on this gamble, from a not so clear scan.

Got my purchase of Ox-Heads from Europe ,full stock sheet had 66 stamps . Had a quick review, the three high catalog stamps look to be fakes so not upset, it is what I expected. I now have points on the overprints to look for . I still want to see what information has been printed about these forgeries and what is available at the A.P.S. Library before I post here and show samples of this overprint .

Great news, keep us posted FT, forgeries and otherwise,
for our knowledge base.

2017 Scott says $12.50 mint. Which is +/- AUD$17. Could be the 2018/2019 is higher??

Thanks gentlemen,
I have the 2017 (which I think is the latest) and at $12.50 US
I cannot see it jumping that much in a year.
I fancy fudged prices, unless he is coming from a Turkish reference.
Still surprised at the price realised.
