Some Thing To Really, Really Think About.

Here's an example of how gum from a wet printed stamp on the left side stamp margin selvage looks like since it does not cover the paper fully since it was added after printing. This is typical of the sheet-fed wet printed Canada stamps from 1926 and before, especially the Admiral stamps before dry ptinting in 1922. Other clues are the cleaner cut slightly larger hole perforations from 1912 onwards, Type B plate layout with no straight edges for stamps but only in margins from 1911 to 1914, thickness of paper, etc. :

Jogi..Basically the same as my blank Admiral stamps..

I'm sure I can resolve the question of how much a "Label" or perforated non-stamp is worth.
This stamp has a Unitrade value of $1.00



And this "pair" has a value of $5.00



The part in the middle must be worth: $5 - (2 x $1) = $3. More than the stamp itself!

QED

So sak, labels?stamp sized labels do have a monetary value..Thats all I was trying to get across to collectors..

You can't infer the value of a separated label from the price of the pair with label. The reason the pair with label is worth more is because its a complete intact multiple with se-tenant label. The label by itself would be worth very little if anything, certainly not $3.

This label might have some minimal value to someone as a separate item, because it actually has something printed on it. I doubt the blank piece of selvedge in the OP would have any value.

It seems that the blank labels are as valuable as the salvage on the edge of a sheet: It adds to the value of a stamp attached to it, but is worthless on its own.

I think maybe I should have put one of these after my last entry:

Why Sak? You cannot deny the math

Well...
In 1998 (which one might dare call the year of the Label/Tab/Non-stamp) there were many issues that might qualify.
Sir WIlliam Mulock #1722



According to the authority of 2017 Unitrade Catalogue the Crown is worth $2 - $1 = $1.

Sumo Canada Basho #1723-4



The "tabs" are worth $2.50 - ($2 x $1) / 4 = $0.125 each.

RCMP - 125th Anniversary #1736-7



The tab is worth $2.00 - (2 x $0.90) = $0.20.

(Note: all these are perforated on all four sides.)

Incidentally, the latest non-stamp is

How much are these tabs/selvage worth on the Quebec Wildlife Habitat Conservation Stamps? QW4, with signature, is valued at CAN $30 in booklet form. If I remove the 8 extraneous pieces, what is my new value?

The above tabs have no value, inasmuch as they are not perforated on all four sides.

But ... some booklet stamps do not have perforation on all four sides, and these sometimes have an "advertising" item in one of the spots.

The catalog and album publishers will love you guys for making a brand new type of 'stamp' to collect!

My next business venture is to actually sell the "holes" in Donuts.

Partime..In Canada, they are called Tim Bits.....haha
