QV 2d blue

I have just joined GBPS and still finding my way around!

My collection has remained dormant for many many years and now in retirement (whatever that means!) I am trying to put it all in order since mostly it was in packets etc

At the moment I have a fascination for both 1d reds and 2d blues and whilst I have found some fairly detailed information on the reds (Plating, colours etc) I have not so far found similar information with regard to the 2d blues

Can anyone point me in the right direction for mostly basic simple information?

I am still trying to get to grips with all the various terminology anyway!

Thanks

Philip
