Some Thing To Really, Really Think About.

Psst, BeeSee.
The smallest non-stamp is from the Year of the Horse sheet, diamond-shaped, a mere 9 mm on the side. #1933 (2002)



How about the biggest?

I'll post the rest over the next while, if nobody beats me to it.

How big was the small wax seal on the USA Harry Potter Forever series? I bet it is close to 9mm per side (no example to post ... sorry).

Oh shoot! I was thinking Canada only.

(The biggest was in 2004.)

I missed that one Sak! Hunting for the biggest...

Pssst! Partime, this is the Canada Forum

I fink I found it, 2004 Victoria Cross.

Yup! It's a monster.

Darn Rules ...

These were the first: #457c (1967)



Which was the last?

So HungaryForStamps, I am listening to your argument, they were printed by Canada Post..Look at another argument..Cancelling..Some people think pen cancelling (marker monkeys) are not a legitimate cancellation...Remember anything that comes out of Canada Post is legitimate..Whether a Canada Post employee roller cancels, pen cancel, etc...It is a legal cancel...So, if Canada Post printed blank filler stamps for a booklet, at least give them a legal status in the stamp world.

Robert...

The blanks are an artifact of perforation.

Remove the row that separates the blanks from the selvage, and you get wider selvage.

The blanks are now an opportunity to expand the design of the stamp.
Sometimes there's an added inscription, sometimes a continuation of the artwork onto the edges, etc.

Here's one of the three latest non-stamps: (2016)



Which is the most valuable ($180 in the 2017 Unitrade) ?

so sak..Are you saying..non stamps are stamps like I suggest..?

Robert

no no! NON-stamps! Unitrade calls them "labels".

Then LABELS might be a collectable item then..?
And if it does then a value will have to be set for them.

Robert

There are at least 200 labels/non-stamps that have perfs on four sides.
I have had too much time on my hands lately, I think.

(The most expensive was issued in 2013.)
