That's the "sort order" short year for databases. Have to be geeky to understand it. I just said that? |

Paste-Up Pairs of Coil Stamps
G'day Tom,
I had to google, I had not come across the term "paste up" before, it seems highly specialised with prices from $45 to open ended, there are a few with images here http://www.hrharmer.com/sales/2961/HTML/2961_05.html Perhaps you can email harmers for any links to specialised sites. HTH "TL" wrote in message ... I don't know if this is strictly a US question. I have a number of paste-up pairs, specifically US Sc# 458 (hinged), 457 (hinged) and 394 Mint, plate #5424 with APS Cert. I'm evaluating these and am wondering if what sort of premium is attached to them. Scott's doesn't go into the values of Paste-up pairs. Maybe if someone has an idea of how often they would occur then it could be compared to Guide-Line pairs. Anyone know that information, value and frequency? Thanks, TL |
