What is a scrap? Please explain.

[mrvster]

there are 33 examples of the sweet cap 350/460 fact #30 no overprint documented......there are either 1-4 known examples of each......

gives the total population of 70 something.....

Chris Browne will elaborate more....

he has prelim research trying to assemble a sheet or 2 out of the known examples...

this particular scrap may be the key to unlock the "sheet size" question

btw....34 estimated broadleaf 460's???

kinda makes you wonder

was the sheet comprised of 34???


Chris B....WHERE ARE YOU???

I have said to much....

Johnny, I do believe you have lost your mind today. Did you have too much caffeine? This stuff is great, though. Carry on.

LOL! actually I am Whooped

tuf day at the office....but 206 Scrap gets me jacked up

there is a lot I have picked up after 15 years of chasing them.....the incredible thing, is that new examples show up every year.....like unearthing fossils...

they are hidden in lots....ebay....beater lots where no one has any clue what they are....

but each one is a tiny piece of the puzzle...

I have literally almost devoted my entire collection to these and chasing them...

one day they will get the recognition they deserve.....it has just begun

kinda like "discovering brown lenox"

or realizing what a brown om is(btw super rare scrap there also) one of my white whales
