k thx. Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Claw75 on April 22, 2008, 04:55:59 PM Is this a wind-up? lol no - I want to know. I have a collection that my dad started up in the 70s and I'm thinking of selling it - just trying to get a rough idea of value. I have one particular book of stamps that's very rare. If it's E1 perforation it's worth about £250, but if it's E2 it's worth a lot more. I want someone to tell me what E2 perforation actually means (google not been much help) so that I can identify my stamps as E2 :D Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting?

Theres usually two small red circles if you look at it through a magnifying glass bottom left hand corner. Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting?

Post by: Graham C on April 22, 2008, 11:20:50 PM Oh forgot to say, my Uncle collects (or used to collect) stamps, if you have no joy, let me know and I'll send him an email and ask if he knows. I won't just do it cos I hardly speak with him and he's moved to Spain (not that holds me back via email)
Hell, I may email him anyway! Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Claw75 on April 23, 2008, 09:06:03 AM thanks folks!
Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: rex008 on April 23, 2008, 02:22:24 PM A Google Challenge! Met, and Conquered.
Just call me the GoogleMeister. (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y89/miscut/Bookletperftypes.jpg) Via translated ebay page of a dutch stamp collector :) Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Claw75 on April 23, 2008, 02:39:36 PM ah i see. So basically I'm looking for two extra dots on the hinge side of the booklet?
Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: rex008 on April 23, 2008, 03:29:39 PM You asking me?
I said call me a GoogleMeister, not a PerforationBoffin ::) ;) Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Claw75 on April 23, 2008, 03:30:52 PM You asking me? I said call me a GoogleMeister, not a PerforationBoffin ::) ;) lol. looks like i've got an E1 :( Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Graham C on April 23, 2008, 03:41:00 PM looks like i've got an E1 :( we've all got E2's :P Is there much difference in value (not that you can do much about it) Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting? Post by: Claw75 on April 23, 2008, 03:45:39 PM looks like i've got an E1 :( we've all got E2's :P Is there much difference in value (not that you can do much about it) hard to tell as not much info on tinternet, but I see a guy sold an E2 type one on his website for above the catalogue price. I'm gonna take them all up to stanley gibbons I think and get them to take a look. Title: Re: anyone know anything about stamps/collecting?

Post by: Claw75 on April 29, 2008, 12:52:38 PM right - I'm off to Stanley Gibbons with my collection and hoping to come back with either a few quid or a fair idea of the value at least. Wish me luck!
