There are several factors to consider in evaluating a particular stamp: (1) the presence or absence of gum; (2) whether the cancellation matches one of the types shown in the Michel specialized catalogue; (3) The general appearance of the cancellation (i.e. how heavy it is, whether or not the ink bleeds into the paper, the colour of the ink); (4) whether or not there are any guarantee handstamps; and (5) the dates of the cancellations relative to the issue dates of the stamps. I have prepared a video on my Youtube channel explaining all this. You can access my channel at: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@brixton-chromestampsforcol3736. In this sale I have counted the stamps as being favor cancelled or CTO unless I have persuasive evidence to suggest that it is a genuine postal cancel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brixton Chrome","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57021890625696,"sku":"Lot-313-May-20-2026","price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0029\/7716\/9506\/files\/20260520_313001_a833bea6-9d08-4770-81d6-b7d26b32af47.jpg?v=1778916073","url":"https:\/\/brixtonchrome.com\/products\/lot-313-may-20-2026","provider":"Brixton Chrome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
