Although the majority of the postally used stamps offered in this sale do not come with certificates of BPP guarantee handstamps, there are many ways to distinguish the favor cancellations from the genuine postal cancellations. 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.
