New Information On Canada 162ii And 197e From Auction

Let's hope that these imperforate stamp multiples (pairs, strips, blocks, etc.) do not get broken down by some who are searching for a perfectly centered stamp out of them. So far, this has happened mostly to U.S. stamps, but it could happen to Canadian stamps too. It is a philatelic practice to at least have imperforate stamps collected in pairs.

Any new developments on the aforementioned information?

There is much confusion between Canada BABN rotary press wet printed stamps and rotary press dry printed stamps along with flat plate dry printed stamps.

Hi Jogil

Hope you can tell me if this Scott 196 is a Unitrade 196 {wet printing} or a Unitrade 196i {rotary wet printing}...?

Robert

Do you mean dry printing for 196i?
The one you show is a wet printing.
