Was glad to uncover some minor perf varieties (and the higher CV), but the thrill of discovery would have been somewhat marred if I couldn't put them in BB, so glad to hear from you that I can have my cake and eat it, too. I'm pleased to learn that BB doesn't generally discriminate between the minor varieties. <br /><br />Probably won't have the time (or the funds) to hit the 30% threshold before my 30th birthday in a year or so, but looking forward to getting to the point where I can splurge on the album pages and start filling space. Thanks again for the excellent resource you've put together here - when perusing potential new acquisitions for the collection, your site is the resource I turn to first!Tom Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-14636220647245503782019-01-03T18:45:49.927-08:002019-01-03T18:45:49.927-08:00Tom - You are within both the spirit and the lette...Tom - You are within both the spirit and the letter of the checklist. ;-) Sure, put them in. I notice the minor numbers also have a higher CV - congratulations!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-4691740059605050772019-01-03T17:36:19.355-08:002019-01-03T17:36:19.355-08:00Hi Jim - just picked up a nice lot of (mostly) min...Hi Jim - just picked up a nice lot of (mostly) mint Sc 35-40 for T&T. Some quick work with my perf gauge, though, has revealed that 35 is really 35a, 39 is really 39a, and 40 is really 40a. As I'm collecting BB "virtually" (keeping track on the spreadsheet and then buying the album pages when I hit 50%), I'm not sure if I can include the minor number perf 12.5s without 'cheating'. What say you?Tom Lnoreply@blogger.com
