I'm curious as to the general wisdom here. Do you all think that perfins add to the catalogue value of a stamp?
Case in point. I've been putting some pages of stamps together to include in our table sale at my club bourse this weekend. For the uninitiated, that is a table with books and books of stamps that members have submitted to sell. You generally catalogue the stamp (though accuracy has been suspect at times) along with a catalogue value and asking price.
In putting a page of British material together, I find I have several KEVII 2 1/2p stamps (#131) with a (surprising) CV of $11.50. I have one with perfins that read U-C Co
So, do you think that increases the price I should be able to get for Eddie?
As an FYI, I have three 131s. I'm only putting one on the page for the sale, and hanging on to the other two, including the perfin'd example, to see if I can get a better price from my dealer downtown. This question is just a hypothetical.
Thanks, I look forward to your opinions.
