45 varieties: AFA 1997 Specialized #26B with all four* of the AFA-listed plate varieties (on underlying AFA #13B) [1902 "I GILDI" red overprint on 5 aur Numeral, perforation 12.75] NH VF upper left corner margin 30-block (quarter sheet plus another row at bottom) containing the four* varieties. The underlying stamps were printed in four quarters with a 25-subject plate, thus this block shows all 25 cliché types/varieties. The additional row of stamps at bottom shows a much lighter colored overprint demonstrating that sheets were overprinted in two operations, top vs bottom -- examples showing a difference between top and bottom are all the more interesting. The four varieties are (per AFA): "x" Sheet Position 1 and 51 "Dent in upper frame line, cut off upper right corner, dent in lower frame"; "z" Sheet Position 32 "Left frame line bends inward at top and bottom"; "æ" Sheet Position 34 "Cut off lower left corner, upper left corner dented on left side"; and "ø" Sheet Position 43 "Short right leg of A of ISLAND". *For the 5 aur stamps, AFA also lists a variety "y" (right and left frame lines bend inward), but I have not been able to locate this variety in the sheet of perforation 12.75 stamps. On the unoverprinted stamps, AFA values the varieties at 4 to 13 times the normal value. However, it is very unusual to obtain all four varieties in one block (and those values are over 15 years old). Plus this block shows the overprint difference from the two overprinting operations. Very fresh and attractive; strong perforations. |

46 varieties: AFA 1997 Specialized #27B with all four* of the AFA-listed plate varieties (on underlying AFA #7B) [1902 "I GILDI" red overprint on 6 aur Numeral, perforation 12.75] NH VF lower left corner margin 25-block (quarter sheet) containing the four* varieties. The underlying stamps were printed in four quarters with a 25-subject plate, thus this block shows all 25 cliché types/varieties. The four varieties are (per AFA): "x" Sheet Position 51 "White spot in front of POST, dent in right frame line near AUR, scratches in lower left corner"; "y" Sheet Position 55 "Small colored spot under N of ISLAND, dent in right frame line"; "z" Sheet Position 83 "Lower frame line dented under FRI and thinning to the right"; and "æ" Sheet Position 92 "Thin right frame line, lower frame line dented under IM (hard to see on positions 92 and 97)". *For the 6 aur stamps, AFA also lists a variety "ø" (Dent in right and lower frame lines near right corner), but I have not been able to locate this variety in the sheet of perforation 12.75 stamps. On the unoverprinted stamps, AFA values the varieties at 2 to 2.5 times the normal value (this compares to 4 to 13 times on the 5 aur stamps, due to the higher value to start with -- a 4 to 8 times multiple is more appropriate on the lower-value 6 aur overprinted stamps). However, it is very unusual to obtain all four varieties in one block (and those values are over 15 years old). Very fresh and attractive; strong perforations. |

46 Full Sheet, Overprint Setting I, with plate varieties: AFA 1997 Specialized #27B with all four* of the AFA-listed plate varieties (on underlying AFA #7B) [1902 "I GILDI" red overprint on 6 aur Numeral, perforation 12.75] NH with centering varying from Superb to Fine as usual. The underlying stamps were printed in four quarters with a 25-subject plate, thus this sheet shows four sets of the 25 cliché types/varieties. The four varieties are (per AFA): "x" Sheet Positions 1, 6, 51, 56 "White spot in front of POST, dent in right frame line near AUR, scratches in lower left corner"; "y" Sheet Positions 5, 10, 55, 60 "Small colored spot under N of ISLAND, dent in right frame line."; "z" Sheet Positions 33, 38, 83, 88 "Lower frame line dented under FRI and thinning to the right."; and "æ" Sheet Positions 42, 47, 92, 97 "Thin right frame line, lower frame line dented under IM (hard to see on positions 92 and 97)". *For the 6 aur stamps, AFA also lists a variety "ø" (Dent in right and lower frame lines near right corner), but I have not been able to locate this variety in the sheet of perforation 12.75 stamps. The overprinting shows a horizontal shift between rows five and six, demonstrating that the overprinting was done in two operations, 50 stamps at a time. On the unoverprinted stamps, AFA values the varieties at 2 to 2.5 times the normal value (this compares to 4 to 13 times on the 5 aur stamps, due to the higher value to start with -- a 4 to 8 times multiple is more appropriate on the lower-value 6 aur overprinted stamps). However, it is very unusual to obtain all four varieties in one block (and those values are over 15 years old). Very fresh and attractive; strong perforations, NO separations. Priced well below the break up value of the listed varieties and stamps. |
