Hi I need a price assessment for the following stamps that I want to sell. 1.Michel #8 / Scott#10 - has 3 uncut frame edges.  2.Michel #28d / Scott #39b - a few teeth missing  3.Michel # 32c / Scott #43 - edges OK, shows plate flaw PFI (Wurttemberg Handbuch Plattenfehler 1851 bis 1925“, Klaus Trapp. - Dashes through first R in postal stamp and dot between R and E)   If anyone has a price evaluation of the plateflaw it would be very helpful. What would be the maximum price you would buy them for? Thank you. |

George,let me first say,that I do collect Württemberg only as part of my classical (up till 1875) collection. Except of the plateflaw,I own all basic stamps shown.So I would not buy any of them. So my best guesses are: Michel no.8 is a nice,but not an extra-ordinary nice specimen.My guess is 20% Michel would be fine.
For Michel 28d I would guess 10% Michel or even less. Can´t say anything about the colour,but an expertise might be necessary,if you want to sell as the "d-colour".
Michel 32c: Is this really the c-colour ? I personally don´t think so. The stamp,as such,is in a poor condition,at least compared to this one,what is of rather standard quality:
About the flaw,I cannot say anything,as it is not listed by Michel.But unless it is a real unusal one, similar flaws,what are listed by Michel,do not command high premiums,above ordinary specimen.

Hi salentin Thanks for the comments and evaluation. Now I also notice that the colors of the pictures do not correspond to what I see with the stamps in front of my eyes.   The stamp Mi #32 looks like it is trimmed, but on the sides you can see (not on the initial picture) the small cuts (durchstochen)  I posted them for sale for 8, 22 and 36 Euros. I hope to find buyers, but I think I have to add the pictures with the color catalog. |

I am giving up 2 more Wurttemberg stamps from my collection: Michel 56a,b / Scott 59, 59a. The stamps have no certification. Can I consider them MNH? (mini cracks on the gum and 2 shorter teeth) I did not find any offer on the sites for Mi 56b/Scott 59a, MH or MNH to establish a sale price. Thanks for any evaluation.   |

as to value I cannot say ( I only have in used condition), but the crackled gum is fairly common. as I see no sign of a hinge, if the reverse of both looks like this they would be MNH Look on Delcampe- HERE ithe image of the reverse is not real clear OTOH I do see what appears to be the (for lack of a better descriptiomn) on the top side, more leftside a slightly dark discoloring in a 'pyramid/triangle" shape, if this is from a hinge remnant then MH. It ould need a more close-up view. IOt would be an unusual way to attach a hinge..... but the condition of the gum is somewhat typical In fact on the older stamps if it has nice smoopth gum I am always suspect of regumming, you can usually see at the perds that the gum extends into the perf punches |

Hi stainlessbThank you for the comments. There is no trace of a hinge (the picture is taken in sunlight). Initially, I was surprised that you found a MH/MNH stamp like mine on the Delcampe website (I also searched), but on a second glance I noticed that it is a different stamp. |
