Australia, Scott #1294A (Stanley Gibbons #1464bp), used (o), 1995, Wildlife Series, Second Issue, stamp shows a Mother Kangaroo and her Joey, 45 cents, typography printed by Pemara Labels of Melbourne, serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 11½, issued with non-water soluble gum, no watermark, phosphorus mesh on image panel, orange lettering and orange lower panel, Scott 2019 catalog value: 55¢; Stanley Gibbons 8th Ed catalog value: A$1.75. Nicely centered, very light, intermittent, broken-up, black-inked, duplex cancellation, from the left, a horizontal message cancellation leading to a nearly full circular, single, rimmed, socked-on-the-nose cancellation, however the lightness of the cancel and its broken-up and intermittent effects leave the main image remarkably clear, good perforations, stamp was removed from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; mounting, centering, Stanley Gibbons assessment, and image clear cancel warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch' offer; the stamp you see will be the one you receive.
Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.55 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.68 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra expense for the added purchases. f not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
