Unitrade Canada 2021 And Postal Stationery

I believe the link here may give you access. I don't collect postal stationary so not familiar with it. You should be able to access this without logging into BNAPS website.

Looks like I can't paste in a link without 'the system' cutting the middle part out - and it no longer works.

So let's try this. Copy this part: "bnaps.org/ore/WaltonCovert-PSC/WaltonCovert-PSC_Index.htm"
and just add "https://" in front.

Should work...

Sorry - just learning the "system".

Bumping an older thread.

I am wondering if the Errata document for the Webb 8th edition catalogue has ever been uploaded on the BNAPS site? When I do a search on that site it only brings me to the Addendum download.

Yesterday I picked up the new 2023 Unitrade Canada catalogue. So I have a question for Robin Harris (UnitradeEditor) regarding his plan forward on his 12/31/2020 post in this thread.

In that thread it was stated that the plan was for the Webb editors to post the Errata on the BNAPS site by the end of January 2021. To the best of my knowledge that has not happened.

Also it was stated that in subsequent issues of the Unitrade catalogue new postal stationery items would be identified with new Webb numbers that would also be posted to the BNAPS site. Based on what I see in the new 2023 Unitrade catalogue this also has not happened.

So as I feared in my original post, it appears that any postal stationery or postal cards issued after the Webb 8th edition are now not identifiable by a catalogue number until the next Webb edition is issued, which according to the same posting is supposed to be every 4 years, but based on the Errata date not being met, is probably also a questionable target for 2023.

While I can certainly acknowledge that this is not a mainstream collection area for Canada, the continued elimination from the Unitrade catalogue and the apparent lack of timely action by the Webb editors is a source of frustration for those of us that do concentrate on this area.

Perhaps UnitradeEditor would care to respond.

PMStamp: you say:




Which new stationery has not been listed in the 2023 Unitrade?

Robin Harris
Editor, Unitrade Specialized Catalogue of Canadian Stamps

Robin, thank you for replying so quickly. I can't find any listing and perhaps I am looking in the wrong place. I am looking for any Webb number on any postal stationery that has been issued since 2019. Perhaps you can give me a page number as an example and I gladly will stand corrected.

There are footnotes after the From Far and Wide (Jan 13/20) and Year of the Rat (Jan 17/20) stamp issues.

Canada Post did not release any new postal cards until the Vintage Travel Posters issue of Jun 9/22, which was after the 2023 Unitrade was sent to press.

A new group of size 10 envelopes was just released, again, after the 2023 Unitrade deadline.

I believe the Unitrade is as complete as it could be.

In regards to an errata, you would need to contact Webb/BNAPS about that. (I too am looking forward to such a listing)

Robin

Thank you Robin for pointing me in the right direction. I stand corrected and you as the Unitrade editor did do what you said you were going to do. I was wondering if the new postal cards were released after your deadline and you clarified that.

I contacted the Webb editors several times with errata that I have found and initially got a response and an indication that the posting on the BNAPS site was imminent. However, subsequent questions have received no response. Hopefully this will happen or perhaps we will have to wait for the 9th edition.
