Collectors to Avoid -article

Took me three 'collections' before I 'found' the GB LE period and its
complexities.

Good hunting!

Excuse my ignorance. What does LE stands for?

"Line Engraved" One of the three major methods for producing stamps.
In particular, they concern the Penny Blacks, Reds, Tuppenny Blues and
the 1/2d and 1 1/2 d produced by Perkins Bacon up to 1870.

I personally love stamps produced by engraving methods. I suppose that the
only way to collect QE LE stamps is acquiring them in auctions or
stamp-shops as they must be very valuable. Correct me if I'm thinking wrong
that stamp collectors do not usually exchange that type of stamps.

Pedro
