Now, there are printings where the press was set up wrong resulting in thin lines or partial lines around the borders, but the frames are usually overinked as well. <br /><br />hy-brasilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612749800999907117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-73936558058538900952017-09-30T07:23:45.397-07:002017-09-30T07:23:45.397-07:00Thanks myNBstamps.

They were so beautifully printed and must be some of earliest with 3 or more different colours.

I will wager writing these last 2 countries up was a pleasure given the quality of the material you were able to present.

"<br /><br />It's pretty similar to (basic) Zumstein listings, so it's definitely easy-to-follow & logical. IMHO the biggest problem with Scott is the format/presentation. Most of the information is there, but it's hard to 'visualize'.<br /><br />-k-<br />keijohttp://www.stampcollectingblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
