Whole sheets of KEVIII

Post by Robinr »

Dear All,
I have now finished poring over much of an old bag of kiloware of our favourite ephemeral monarch, and have the green and brown done. Anything like a flaw I scan at 400dpi and examine further. As a result, I have a few dozen minor flaws that need to be checked out... more when I've done with the reds and blues.

What I really need for this is a stock of whole sheets. These, if dealers represent what is out there, seem not to exist!

If anybody has any ideas or suggestions about how or where I might find whole sheets, I'd be delighted to hear them.

Meanwhile, I can scan a few and post them here to see if any of you have similar...

Best wishes to all,

Robin R.

Robin,

There are quantities of the EDVIII issue overprinted for use at the BPO's in Morocco around with several members of the G.B.Overprints Society holding on to a number of sheets.
Remember Michael Astley & Tony Wiseman used Overprinted sheets of the 4d EDVII bicoloured to plate flaws on the underlying stamp as they could not find them unoverprinted
