Canadian Tagging Errors And Oddties

Scott 946b – Booklet "Hook Flaw" tagging error

Here is the so called "HOOK FLAW" associated with Scott 945 in Unitrade.
It says this flaw is on the Scott 945 and appears up and down the stamp in different areas...

This is my Scott 946b booklet. The "HOOK FLAW" does not appear on the Scott 945, but appears on the French "label stamp". Can not find any information on this area at all...If some one knows any info, would be appreciated.

Take a look at this Scott 1966 "Christmas" stamp.
It is tagged GT4 as per Unitrade Catalouge.

I took the picture with my powerful Ultra Violet lamp.
No tagging present...Wondering whether it may be a new variety.

Also perforation assigned as 12.5 x 13.1
I perf. it as 12.5 x 13.3

Anyone got another no tagging Scott 1966 stamp...??

Robert

My nice example of Scott 587 tagging error..



As Major1044 noted...OP4 and OP2

Both of your 597 appear to have different taggings (OP4/OP2)

Sooooo close to finding a new TAGGING error.
Scott 2072 stamp..see below.

Tagging database...Great site.

Here is my nice find of a NEW tagging variety {G4aR} on a Canada Scott 2004 Christmas stamp.
Nice to find a new variety...Eh..??

Response from Adminware....

Robert:

You did NOT get a response from 'Adminware'.

Your response was from John Jamieson, who is/owns Saskatoon Stamp Centre.

Before posting... please, please, please ...get your information correct.

[I told myself I wasn't going to respond anymore to your posts, but this definitely needed correcting. Please give credit to where it is due Robert. This is getting ridiculous.]

Robin Harris
Adminware Corporation

Again Robin..Thank you for your kind words....

I have been getting interested in tagging errors, so I go to....Adminware tagging database as below.
https://adminware.ca/tagging/tag_intro.htm

I have sent a few possible errors to the link provided in the database who is the editor, Del Peters. { A very nice and polite guy }
Del's reply to me...






This is the link that I get on this website for the editor as below.



John Jamineson response.
Hi Robert



WHO is the EDITOR now...??...WHO do collectors contact...??
Sorry, I am confused.
Robert

Robert,

I think what is going on is the following:

Adminware (Robin Hariss' site) hosts/runs the tagging database.

The database itself was originally editted by Del Peters who (as he told you) passed on his collection to John.

Del likely got your email and forwarded it to John (at Saskatoon Stamps).

The Adminware website needs an update on the Tagging Database contact info to avoid confusion.

Here's one of mine:

790 G2e

Description: Double tagging error. Normal General Tag bars at sides plus a 2nd full bar down the centre cutting CA of Canada. Only 2 sheets of 100 reported. (Saskatoon Stamps has one for $89)

WOW 3Dadeo
That is a fantastic stamp you got there...Double tagging.
Now you got me to look at more stamps...
Great find my friend....WOW

Robert

Thanks Robert,

Sorry for the fuzzy image. Have to try to get a better one sometime.

Robert, in regards to your Adminware and Editor query above, I think, as has been stated, it is simply that Adminware is a web host server for numerous things; one of which is the tagging database. It is no different than contacting a website owner who hosts their page on AOL. If the website designer contacts you, it does not mean AOL has contacted you. It is important to separate the host from who is running and operating that specific page/project/database/etc.

It looks like John emailed you, so that is who you would reference as contacting you. Not Adminware.

This is my interpretation of what is going on here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but if that is the case, hopefully it helps clear this up a bit.

stamps101..Thanks for your reply...Still sort of confused, but anyways will just post tagging stamps and errors, etc.

Robert

Here is a 1194b close to being an error, but slight tagging on bottom..Better luck next time eh..??..haha
