(RCSD) Saar cataloguing help needed
Recently found two different pairs of stamps with printing flaws that might be described in Michel Saar-Spezial-Katalog
2002. I’m looking for help in deciding which of each pair is really the flaw. (There even is the possibility that neither one is the flaw Michel is describing.) The two pairs are shown at: http://cjoint.com/?kuedAqbKbf 75 centime: point on frame line above inner frame line at lower right. This is my translation of the German description: Punkt auf Einfassungslinië über Innenrahmen rechts unten. The two stamps shown are different colors, but the printing plates were the same. The green stamp with the plate flaw is Michel 95 V. The blackish stamp with the plate flaw is Michel 101 V. The green stamp came from the Marcel Jaffes collection, which may add some credit to that cataloging. I don’t know where the blackish stamp came from, but it was not directly from a known collector’s stock. Scott numbers are 111 (green) and 112 (blackish). Is the dot between the frame line around the vignette (green, bottom stamp) or around the whole stamp (blackish, top stamp)? The green stamp is one of a pair on a cover. I’ve merely positioned the blackish stamp above the green one for scanning ease. Location of each dot is in a red circle. 20 centime: point in "0" of denomination "20." This is my translation of: Punkt in "0" der Wertangabe "20." The Michel number is 110 1. Scott is #122. Both stamps have dots. The dots are not in the same location. Which one, if either, is the correct dot? I’d guess the large dot is the real variety, but there are some Michel plate flaws that are very, very tiny dots. And help would be appreciated. I’m working on an exhibit for next year and would hate to mislead a viewer by displaying an incorrect error. Stan Fairchild napoleon at voyager dot net |

(RCSD) Saar cataloguing answer
An RCSD regular answered privately, suggesting that the specific German words make the location of the dot on the green
stamp the probable printing flaw--corner of the vignette, not corner of the stamp. This gives three reasons to favor that location--RCSD user, seller's own experience, and the claimed provenance of the item. On the 20- centime, stamp, the private answer favored the larger dot as the flaw. That gives three reasons to favor that choice--RCSD user, logic, and having found the next week the same large dot in the same place on a dealer copy of the same stamp. Thanks for looking, even if you were unable to provide an answer. Stan "Stan Fairchild" wrote in message . net...

Rod--no plans for Exponet for this exhibit. This ine is aimed at giving local collectors some useful information on
specific stamps, as well as showing the value of spending some of one's stamp budget on reference material. Because of the amount of text needed to make the information useful to the non-specialist, the exhibit will not be a good example of an exhibit. Stan "rodney" wrote in message ...

G'day Stan, I understand your response, however I fail to agree. I see a huge gap between what the newbie to the hobby experiences, to the resultant frames seen at bourses, and stamp shows. Personally, I would like to see exhibits as yours as examples of directions and encouragement to specialise. Quite frankly, I find a lot of frames boring in their current format lets tear the flesh off the beast, perfs and printers are so ho-hum, we can get that info from the catalogue.

Rod,
perfs and printers are so ho-hum, we can get that info from the catalogue. You are over optimistic! This was true 50 years ago, general catalogues [Michel] don't bother to tell us about the printing process and even specialised catalogues got lazy p.e. the OCB Belgium doesn't mention it anymore since 2006! groetjes, Rein Op Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:45:50 +0100 schreef rodney : G'day Stan, I understand your response, however I fail to agree.
