Lot 44 Canada #1351a 3c Multicolored Black Crowberry, 1992-1998 Edible Berries Definitives, A VFNH Partial Imperf Pair Likely Printer's Waste Or Leftover From Cutting Up A Pane, Ashton-Potter Printing

A VFNH partial imperf pair of the 3c multicolored Black Crowberry from the 1992-1998 Edible Berries Definitives likely printer's waste or leftover from cutting up a pane, ashton-potter printing.

Unitrade values a full imperf pair at $1000, so this partial pair is estimated at $50. The pair offered here grades 84 as follows:

Centering/Margins: 54/70

Paper Freshness: 10/10

Colour: 10/10

Impression: 5/5

Absence of Visible Paper Flaws: 5/5

A note about grading and estimated values is in order. We use estimated values rather than catalogue values where the grade of the stamp is other than that contemplated by the catalogue, or there is an unlisted variety. In deriving the estimates we divide catalogue values by 2 for examples without gum, unless Scott gives a separate no gum value, and also by 2 for each grade that is below the catalogue standard of VF for Scott or fine for Unitrade. So, for example a stamp cataloguing $300 in Scott that is in VG condition will be estimated at $75, if it has OG, or at $37 if it is unused. If it is a split grade, then I take the midpoint between the two grades, so that for example a VG-F stamp is about 1/3rd of the value of a VF example.
