Hi All,
I have a few MNH blocks of 4 Australian stamps that I intend to put up for sale. I'd like to get a reasonably current catalog $ value so I can include it in the description.
The Scott #s are: 578 883 890-891 (block of 8) 909 1005 1006 1007 1040 1041 1042 1043 1063B 1079 1080 1081 1105 1106-1112 1134 1136-1139 1140 L56
Any help will be appreciated!
Dave N. <><

Oldtriguy1960,
Could you show images of obverse and reverse of some valued items. Please. |

Dave, if you hope to sell these in the Australian market, you'll really have to get the Gibbons numbers and values for them. 95% of Australian collectors won't have immediate access to Scott. |

Thanks for the replies,
I don't have a Gibbons cat. When I put them up for sale, I'll include year, description, and scans.
In the mean time, if I can find an online Gibbons cat, I may be able to determine the Gibbons #.
Finches, when I get a chance, I'll post some images here of the higher value stamps.
Again, thanks for the input. Everyone here is so helpful!

Dave, we can cross reference a few SG numbers for the images you post. That might spruce up the listings on the higher-value items. (This is where tonymacg points out that some higher-value SG items may be hiding in plain sight within the "lower values" identified under the deficient Scott listings. Don't tell him I said this, but he could be right.)  |

Hi oldtriguy, I have had a quick look through Scott and your numbers refer to pretty common decimal stamps; I don't think CV is going to help you if you are selling them. About 60 to 75% Face value is probably the best you can aim for, as these can still be used for postage in Oz if they are Mint.
cheers

Quote: we can cross reference a few SG numbers When I say "we" it turns out I don't mean "me" as I just looked at the first few in Scott, and I don't have a Gibbons that would help...they're too new for my extremely limited SG resources. |
