Actually these are so called EinzelBlocks (sometimes refered also as 'deluxe sheets').
The imperforated B-stamps Michel is referring were issued in sheet format.
So these would be Michel #747-754 EB (Einzelnblock).

Ajman Essays: These essays were printed in 1963 by the Baroody Stamp Company, which which had the contract to print stamps for Ajman. The company assigned the contract for Ajman to J.H. Stolow. The sale and the subsequent changes in design and printing processes may explain in part why Ajman began to issue stamps several months after the opening of its post office. The delay also may explain the use of the "values only" issues on some covers as well as the use of stampless covers with postmarks. With appreciation from www.ohmygosh.on.ca/stamps/ajman/ajess.htmCV : $1 30 Naye Paise and 50 Naye paise  |

I didn't know you're an Aj-Man-Fan  I think I pretty much have all space related stamps issued by Ajman and they are so many! Here are a couple that I've scanned in the past   I'll try to scan or take pictures of my Ajman space album pages this weekend |

Been in a bidding war for some Ajman, there are scores of dune collectors out there, or hiding in closets. Saturday I lost out in one lot, had 31 bids. Most Ajman space collectors are poseurs... to be inducted into the inner sanctum, one must pass the Ajman Space test. Here are 6 Ajman error stamps....all Space related, you have to name the gentlemen, and suggest what the 2 scenes are. Only a few manage the inner sanctum. (On passing, you receive a silver lapel badge, and instructions on special handshake) Post is slow from Ajman, I am still awaiting mine.  ------------------------------------------------ Even Queen Elizabeth could not resist appearing on Ajman.  |

BTW, it is considered in bad taste, to post Ajman without accompanying Catalogue #, or issue date.

Thanks, Rod! The tip of my Ajman iceberg is the Apollo Moon Landing Gold Postage Stamp Issue in Scan No.8 . Limited edition of 2000. I haven't scanned the inside but you can check the link below: www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum20/HTML/000579.htmlMine is No. 818 and I see the gent who scanned his item have only the perforate stamp...for some reason I have them both perforate and imperf. |

A nice specialty Item Marius, that would really test the market. Interesting. I began like most collectors, throwing the dune stuff, in a drawer, when I was collecting worldwide there was always lot "stuffers" to make the lot look bigger, and they were always the dune stuff. Then Michel listed them, so a collection was born. Nowadays, I cannnot believe the interest, my last lot I looked at and bid on for a joke lasted 31 bids and went for over $30, so I am rather amazed. The last lot I looked at for Romania yesterday, went for 120% of catalogue for a 1983 collection of CTO's. (shipping inclusive) Is the market heading for a bubble? |

Based on gut feeling I'd say there's some genuine interest behind. I know quite a many collectors who have changed their 'behaviour' from hate to love during the last 10 years or so  -k- |

Marius, which letter are you up to in your space collection ? When we last met it was 'B'...but that was a while ago. Londonbus1 Thanks lads! LB I'm still at "B" - the last two years I haven't added any new items so "A" and "B" countries pretty much complete up to 2011 (including the less known issues from the russian area local posts and breakaway republics Abkhazia, Adjara, Adygea, Altai, Baikal, Bashkortostan, Batumi, Birobidzhan & Buryatia) ...just started to add the new 2012 - 2013 issues. I obviously have space stamps from all other contries but they are in glassines and stockbooks so not quite sure what exactly I have. I'm not planning to move forward with space until I complete my GB collection - just finished the postage dues and now I'm working on officials. |

Thanks, Rod! I'll have a look for duplicates from the dune countries. If I'll see something I will scan and if you need them I'll send them your way.
I think Romania has became for some reason a "hot" country in the last 3-4 years and I see a lot of interest from collectors. Not just Romania but the (UAE) emirates as well. I wanted to buy the 1972 Abu Dhabi set (the overprinted ones) and the dealer asked £1800 for it, thats double the cat value I think.

Are you sure?
Abu Dhabi should be retailing for around $90 upwards, as far as I can see.
I see a set on ebay now for $129 1 bid.
I'd check with your dealer, you may have heard incorrectly.
