I have this attractive stamp (one short perf) I am preparing to list online and went to check the catalog price and it says $2190. The previous catalog I have is 2019 and it say $170. I've got to assume this is a typo - especially since the "on cover" price is far less.

Here's the stamp in any case:

Well, if you take the '2' out from the start of the 'value' it makes more sense, so I would tend to agree. Unwanted '2' has sneaked in.

That is a real nice copy of the stamp, will be interesting to see what you are able to realize on ebay.

Obviously a typo, one that persists in my 2021 Scott. If you check the CV by grade section, you will find that a grade 80 208a is valued at $190. So the 2 doesn't make it to the "yellow" pages (at least not in the 2021 edition).
I also agree that this appears to be a very nice copy, one that I certainly wouldn't mind having in my collection. Hope you get a good price for it.
