still looking

can anyone point me in the direction of a checklist/ spreadsheet for inventory of my collection

With regards to the catalogue entry, correct, this should be a 1d, it will be amended when we re-do this section of the catalogue. Reply from Stanley Gibbons

still require this stamp anyone ?

the sheets in order were 20 rows of 12

see if 5 sets of 12 per page (maybe 4 if looking cramped)

a row
a-a a-b a-c a-d a-e a-f
a-g a-h a-I a-j a-k a-l

b row
b-a b-b b-c etc

in groups 12

I reconstructed a sheet by arranging the corner letters in order as they would have been printed
maybe the A row on 1 page
etc see how they fit

looks like you're correct in the code for a time
