I just purchased quite a few Australian Booklets. When offered by the seller, they noted that some of them have a "Score Mark". I couldn't find a reference to this anywhere in my literature. They replied to my query with this explanation: "Score mark is a counting mark on front of the booklet it shows every 100 to 200 booklets, Depending on what printing it is." I'm not sure if this makes the booklet any more desirable, but possibly to a collector of such.

Hmm. I just noticed that the score mark book shown above is a complete booklet, with two sheets. Both sheets show the "White Crown at top left", which would be Scott 258 or ACSC 296k. ACSC lists this as:

Here is the complete pane, and a closeup of the unit with the White Crown. (Middle stamp on left.)

My latest ACSC is from 2015 and lists the 296k as a single with a value of AUS$40. Does anyone know the latest value, and a guesstimate for the complete booklet (ACSC B57v) with this variety on both panes in the same position? Thanks in advance.
