So... I got all excited. Unused value £950. Used £650.  Looking around I see that it's real value is £1 to £3 (ish). How does that work? Why was it that value in the SG catalogue? |

I have an old Zumstein catalog 2001 and the prize for an unused stamp at that time was 5 S.FR. think 7-8$, now the prize them a little strange MNH the prize is 85 S.fr 100$ but it is for a block of four as far i can see, that is a MNH stamp prized App. 25-30$. Why you catalog prizes it that high I do not know, could be a full sheet? |

Probably either an error in the catalogue,or you misread something. In mint condition of little value. As it looks like on your scan,the condition is so bad,that it is worthless.

My 2015 Zumstein catalog, gives a price of 5 CHF for a perfect UMM copy, which is not the case of the stamp shown, which has very little 8if any!) value.

No,I see,you read it right. But all the prices shown from 1923 till 1927 (except of 2) are for sure given in error. Nice: J41 mint 12000.- used 5000.- ! Should be around -.50 and 1.-.

Perhaps Gibbons was sitting on a large stock of these issues and hoped to corner the world market? 
Sadly, given some of the harebrained things their management has done, this doesn't seem implausible.
