I only have an older ACSC (from 2003). The booklet in question contains Scott 292, ACSC 197, the 3 1/2d unwatermarked QEII. What I have is a complete booklet with waxed interleaving. My 2003 catalogue states, "B58v: Wax interleaving (stapled)". The further note says, "All examples of B58v have stapled covers showing stitch holes." However, my example does not have a staple: Also of interest is the score mark on the cover (the vertical black line at the top left). I understand that this mark is only found on 1 out of every 100-200 booklets, so that makes it a bit more unique. Also, just for fun, both panes in the booklet have the ACSC 297k, "White Crown at Top Left" which also adds a significant premium. (See right stamp in this scan): Since I have an older ACSC, my questions are: 1: Does a more recent ACSC detail that the normal booklet has only waxed interleaving while the B58v is the special version with wax interleaving AND stapled? 2: What is the latest value for this booklet in the most recent ACSC? 3: How do you think the score mark and presence of the White Crown would affect the value? Thanks for your comments.

Thanks for your comments. Unable to advise on your queries, I do not collect Booklets. My source for value, quotes the B58v std booklet wax, at $150 AUD and "Buying"

Ahh, I think this answers my question number 1 because it says "std booklet wax". And also value from question number 2. Can you send me an email about your source and I'll try to ask about number 3?

Well, I just found out BUYING doesn't necessarily mean "I'm buying right now". However, it was a good source for pricing as their listings pretty much match the current catalog values. Thanks again for the link.

Thanks again for the link. ... and thanks to you, to me "Buying" means buying, not maybe. Maybe it is difficult to constantly adjust online status. I once selected some registration labels, on a dealer's table, "I need to find out what they are worth, leave your phone and I'll call you" I passed.
