Questions Questions On Booklets

I find the detail in UNITRADE front and back on booklets is less than adequate .... but I'm no so desperate as to go buy a specialty catalogue. Hoping to get an answer or two here. :]

Here's the question: What are the "revised" versions of booklets 82 and 84? 82 is the 30 cent; 84 is the 32 cent.

These BTW are the sealed 10 packs. And I don't want to open them.

I would guess that these are BK 82 and BK 82A for the top pair and BK 84a and BK 84c for the bottom pair. As you do not want to open these packs you cannot see the back of the booklets. Unitrade explains th differences quite well.

On a personal note I would not want these in sealed packs as I would have no idea of the actual booklets or their condition inside them. I ceertainly would not pay more for a sealed pack. What do other people feel about these sealed packs.

In my opinion, buying a seller's sealed pack that prevents you from seeing the contents and more importantly, the condition thereof, is like buying a pig in a poke. I won't do it without a prior iron-clad "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" agreement.

That said, I and half the US collectors, readily purchased sealed (by the USPS before issue) panes of six of the 2013 Inverted Jenny $2 stamps (#4806) in the vain hope of uncovering one of the reported 100 "inverted invert" panes. I believe only 32 of them have been reported to date.

Thank you for those comments. Much appreciated!!
