Some Thing To Really, Really Think About.

Sak, what is the most expensive? At the office now without a catalogue.

Perhaps the original question was in jest.

Yes labels are collectible, precisely because (i.e., by definition) they have something printed on them. Though I see that Scott 327b listing may contradict this opinion. Certainly not collectible on their own IMO.

Blank artifacts of perforation are not stamps. Just like blank selvage is neither a stamp nor a label. If not intended to be valid for postage, then not a stamp.

I think the hang-up might be that the blanks are (or appear to be) the same size as the adjoining stamp. Is that because the another pane in the booklet has 6 stamps?

I am not sure why the OP stamps are blank, usually Canada Post put advertising on them.

Canada Post is not 100% perf as all World Posts so I am not surprised to see this and agree with most people on a blank piece of paper !

Checking in...
The most expensive non-stamp (label) is:



It's the centre of the imperforate pane offered only in the Chinatown Gates Collection #2642ii (2013) of which only 8888 were issued.

I know it's not perforated on all four sides but... that's the point. It should be like this:



A big hole!

Wert. It looks like we varied from the original topic. I just wanted to point out that your OP post is not actually 327a, but is really 327b. Here is a copy of the 327a.



I also have a copy of 327b, but, unfortunately, there is an ugly inclusion that totally ruins the look.

Gum from wet printed stamps which was added after printing (rather than being pregummed from before printing for dry printed stamps) usually does not cover all of the stamp margin selvage but has some blank spots (rather than being fully covered for pregummed dry printed stamps).

Parttime, I can see only selvedge, but what I was saying the so called selvedge was the same size of the original stamps..Was wondering if there is any value or acceptance as a non printed stamp

Robert.

Yes, in 327b, there is a small selvage section, and another, larger selvage section which just happens to be the same size/shape as the stamp. This is also true with 286b, 252a, 251a, 250a, 249a, 233a, 232a, 231a, 218a, 217a, and probably several others.

Earlier booklet stamps had a much larger overall selvage. See 105a, 107b, 108a, 109a and others for examples.

Any extra value for JUST the stamp sized selvage section? Answer. No.

Partime, the no answer for selvage probably needs clarification...for example, selvage with lathework for admiral stamps, may add significant value. On the other hand, I have no clue for selvage alone, with no stamp attached..., or inscriptions in selvage

Gilles le timbre: Do you have a scan of the back gum side of the above?

Jogil,
I do not have the back scan for the 2c admiral.

Gilles. To be clear, the selvage does ADD some value. But I think the OP question was whether the selvage by itself had any value.

Beautiful examples, by the way.

Value, like Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Right on Sak...
