Understanding the stamp catalogue.

#stamps #stampcollecting #ourdadsstamps #stanleygibbons #stampcatalogue #britishcommonwealth
In this episode we look at the Stanley Gibbons specialised catalogue and learn how to understand what it all means. We look at values, colour shades, watermark variations and all the other information that can be gleaned from the catalogue.

Most of the time issues that have dashes means a collector has the stamp but has never sold so price is speculative

Thaskyou sr for the information Next video I will like to talk about the world value stamps on the market estimates. Twaskyou

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for that, maybe I could look at the high values and see if they are increasing.

[@humfelbert2079]

That would actually be very interesting

[@johnscamardo2145]

I was told by an old collector types of stamps that used chalky paper would damage or remove part of the design trying to remove post marks.

Another great video as always. Coincidentally, the George V stamps you used as the example are what I'm currently cataloguing at the moment - the various greens and reds especially.

[@ourdadsstamps]

Thanks for the comments. If you use the specialist catalogue there are loads of colour shades especially on the 1d red.
