Netherlands Sc#34-37 Paper Question

"get laid" I thought my translator was broken...but it seems everyone reads the same thing..hahaha

I was posting this in the Postmarks day by day thread, and thought that it should also appear here: Scott 35b: (laid paper variety).



You can't really see the laid lines, but they are visible if you hold it up to the light.

j2186, only a few out of 2500. That's a lot of looking and so uncommon? Or maybe it says something about how common the 1 cent green is. 2016 Scott used is 0.25 for #35 vs 7.25 for #35b

I found a 1 cent green laid paper,35b, mounted in the space for the normal issue in a world collection decades ago. This was when I was less experienced.

So, after seeing floortraders creation I went back and checked mine. Mine is good.

According to the NVPH specialty catalog, there were almost 880,000,000 of the 1 cent green printed over a period of over 20 years. So they are very common. I think that the laid paper examples are so hard to find is because there are so many normal examples.

The paper varies and can be bluish or show horizontal structure. The NVPH lists a 'highly' vergé paper.

Not all stamps that show the horizontal paper structure are the rare varieties. They, also, should be comb perforated 12½ with large perforation holes.

The example I show above is the one cataloged in NVPH as 31Fx, what the NVPH calls verge paper and what Scott calls laid paper (35b).

Jan, based on the year of use, the large perforation holes, and your earlier posts, I assumed it might be.

Considering OP's history of posts, at some time, any stamp with a horizontal structure will be presented as a laid-paper example.
