Collectors, I suppose, will eventually identify them though it may take some time. This is one of the things that makes ‘new issue’ collecting so interesting. Modern catalogues can not really keep up with new issues particularly when their editors have no real interest in them yet new issues remain immensely accessible to collectors and provide them with the opportunity to buy really quite rare stamps at a reasonable price. It just a matter of being alert to what might be out there.

Not a Commonwealth country, but shows just how long it can take for the unknows to become knows (although I wonder if Michel might have already listed some of them as Scot takes a more conservative approach to listing new things as they fear listing things that turn out to be bogus).eyeonwallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14261303818379615361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005756131065514338.post-67731056709916311652019-08-25T21:35:50.340+00:002019-08-25T21:35:50.340+00:00Thank you for your kind comments, Sébastien.Thank you for your kind comments, Sébastien.White Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17968199477827266643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005756131065514338.post-88519599745274714622019-08-25T19:05:21.207+00:002019-08-25T19:05:21.207+00:00A must-read.
