Albanian Stamp Overprint

The stamp is Albania Scott No.227, but the overprint is not full and it has part of another overprint.
Does this influence the value of the stamp and in what way?

Thanks!

The stamp also has a corner missing. Value be much less.

Thanks Peter4522,
I am aware of this, but I am interested in principle about the overprint

Fairly common. Blocks and sheets of these will come up every so often with off center overprints like this.

I would keep it as a nice example if the stamp wasn't damaged.

Well, it fills the space...

MAKANUDO----No !! it is not a space filler ,it is better to call it a "collection depresser" when you place that stamp in your collection ,everybody who views and future buyers will discount your whole collection on the assumption that the rest of your material also contains like quality .

There are collectors out there, that don't mind, as myself.
I would keep it as "Misplaced overprint" and have it on a personal page, amongst the abstruse examples in my collections.

I agree with Eric. It would have a home at my place.
Other than that, it would have little value, if that is important to you.

PS Notice the different colours of the stamp between our 2 scanners.

Here are a few overprint shifts of this issue from my collection:

I dont have a fashion of throwing away stamps and if I dont have it, its better to have a half of it then none.
My collections shall not be for sale, so valuation is not important for me. If aI place incomplete stamp in my classer, I make a footnote and replace it if I obtain a bettter specimen.

I suppose we should indicate the overprints, read:
"Proclamation of Ahmed Zogu as King of Albania." (King Zog 1)

Oops. "Kingdom of Albania"

Australia has a link, the would-be Queen Susan was an Australian.

Would-be Queen Susan dies uncrowned

Susan, the woman raised in the central western town of Cumnock in rural NSW, Australia, who became the wife of
Leka, the pretender to the Albanian throne, died on Saturday in Albania.

PS: I thought I once read King Zog was a Stamp collector, but Googling can find no evidence of that.

As a cricket fan, you may recall that, as well as interrupting the smoking of a Havana to stroll out and break the world long-jump record, CB Fry was supposedly offered the throne of Albania.

Happy New Year - although I suppose it's almost 2018 in Perth!

Hello Geoff,
no, I was not aware of that, mind you, it's difficult to remember anything about under-achievers.




Happy New Year to your good self.
About this time, I miss the green of Merry England.
