I have the majority of the easy ones such as blue grey etc ,most expensive so far was Deep blue affecting Gb flag and Danish, I will keep looking for the fdc's to come up. I realised why I couldn't even find a copy of 716g missing green, it was thought to not even exist but a cylinder block of six was found in 2009 and then sold by Grosvenor in 2010 for £15000 plus premium. there are also known missing colours with inverted watermarks. But the holy grail of this issue is 716 missing red, used pair on piece, originally discovered by Craig Lambert in a stockbook in the early 90's, it was originally dismissed as fake by RSPL but went on to receive a BPA certificate, its thought that it could have been restricted to one or two rows of a single sheet. A lot of these stamps were sent abroad on parcels and with a lot of the colour errors be so subtle I'm sure there's material yet to be discovered. |

Finally found a copy of the broken strut flaw on first day cover. The aim now is to find the quay and strut together which I imagine is going to be difficult but the fun is in the search.   |

Great collection jony78! Hunting for GB EII varieties in old job lots is one of my favourite tasks! Have found a few but nothing like this. Regards DavidR |

I must admit collecting QEII errors is no longer a passion but more of an obsession, I only seek certain stamps I find visually appealing,I was hoping to have moved on to 715 but still have a couple to find for 716,the one thing I'd really like is the Harrison presentation card if it's out there. |

I've found this in my collection, which I have started looking at again after many years. I know there are several with colours missing, but this seems to be misaligned (blue circle and black line at front of aircraft, and on Union Jack) and some other flags with horizontal bands are printed higher. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks  |

Hi all. New to this site. Please see my EFTA stamps. 1/6d has blue shift to Scandinavian flags. Has anyone any idea of value. 9d is not centered and perforation touches lettering at bottom  |
