Here's some Double-Line perf 12s in comparison to a 2-cent bluish paper that is relatively dark on the reverse, probably because of the gum:



In my opinion, the 15c and 10c looks at least worthy enough to try for a submission, since the color more closely resembles that of the bluish paper:





I'll include them with my long list of submissions for whenever it takes place, but won't get my hopes up seeing as they are used copies, and it becomes increasingly difficult to make a determination depending on how soiled the stamp is etc...
We can only do the best we can.

Hope it helped!

Stephen-P,
Send the above in for certs?

Have you sent anything in for a cert yet? If so, what did the certs say? A lot of what you have posted since you joined has been about you identifying less common stamps and the community trying to help you. Multiple times the advice was to get certifications.

I see that you have this currently listed on ebay...

Do you think that someone would bid on this without a cert? If you think you have IDed this correctly, why would you not send it in for a cert before listing it?

What does the line "NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART" mean?

Considering below listing, I cannot say I am impressed with the accuracy. Is it Edward VII or Queen Victoria. The descriptions and details are all over the place. As long as you know what parts belong where, the information is there. But looking at sections separately, it is not correct.

As is. No guarantees as to the accuracy of description. Caveat emptor. You're going to spend $9000 on a $1 stamp.

We see these forum members from time to time and they are clones of each other. JuJu comes to mind but there are a number of others. They come here to seek some type of validation either for themselves to justify calling something a thing that it is not (and they know it) or to use opinions directly in a listing. They never ever get a certificate (spend money) because they are well aware that they do not have a rarity.

Time to move on.

We talked in great length about this in a previous thread, which is why I stated in the post before yours:
"I'll include them with my long list of submissions for whenever it takes place,"

The thread was about me not having access to usd-backed money cheques in this part of Japan, and I was frustrated that they accepted credit card payments as donations, but could not accept them for submission costs. Do you remember it? I think it was essayk that was kind enough to ask the president on my behalf about that detail, but the answer ended up still being "no".

I still have a big group growing ready to submit for when I go back.


I received an email a short time after posting it asking about a certification. I gave the buyer the same answer I gave you, and added that free returns on all my stamps are offered, so they can submit it to the PF and return it to me if doesnt receive the designation of 192. They were very pleased with this response and are considering it.

Now that I think about it, I should put all the above info in the description as well.

Are you going to reimburse the cert cost to the buyer when it comes back bad?

I get your point that a certificate would allow me to raise the price from $9,000 to $20,000 and get more bang for my buck, right?
But it's not so easy for me to do, so I figure I'll just get rid of it at a much lower price (while still making good profit) and let the buyer take care of all the paperwork for it.
Since it would just be about money and not trying to find out anything new with stamps, I have many other more important projects I'm working on to cover that.

"Not for the faint of heart" just means it's an incredible stamp.

NSK - The stamp on the left is in fact Edward VII. The stamps in the middle and on the right are Victoria.
ebay lets you only choose one option under "Era"

The cert will take much longer than the allowed time given by ebay for returns so any buyer would be taking a significant chance. Only a buyer with more money than sense would buy from you on your ebay account nuanceninja . By the way, you have other mis-identified stamps listed.

You have given much advice and free help. You have limit experience and the folks here have done their best to help you. Some of this help was based upon understanding that helping people keeps them from making bad listings. It appears to me that you have moved forward ignoring and discarding the help you do not agree with. Speaking for myself, it feels like I have wasted my time trying to help you. This is my bad and a mistake that I will not make again with you.

That should not prevent you from listing ordinary postage stamps that could be used as proof of payment of revenue inscribed 'postage and revenue' other than




Nor should it be a reason to, inadequately, describe it as

I can buy your uncertified ebay lots with Paypal, yet you cannot figure a way to pay for certification fees back to the U.S.?
Looks like BS to me!

Okay! I shouldn't be anywhere I'm not wanted.
Thanks for all the help, and I hope you're all blessed!

John Becker - I can't use PayPal in Japan. We have to use Payoneer!

Why does everyone hate me so much on here.

Perhaps so, but you don't seem to be trying very hard to find a payment method. I find it impossible to believe that money transfers between any first-world countries are not simple and common.

Good luck.

You have an excuse for everything. You are spreading questionable information and throw a tantrum when people show the inaccuracies.
That has nothing to do with hate.
