newp revenue cancel acquisition from APS store

coinpictures

Just received a parcel from the APS store, including the piece below.

It's faulty and beat up, what's the big deal?

It's an example of a printed cancel from the Andrew Dougherty Playing Card Company. While not exceedingly rare (I have several other examples of this cancel), virtually all of the examples I have ever seen of this cancel are on the 1c stamp denomination. This is the first example I've personally seen on the 3c denomination.

I paid about 35% of Scott for the stamp, and I consider that a bargain. This is a case where the cancel is far more interesting and valuable than the stamp itself.

Very interesting,I'll have to start looking for interesting cancels on revenues in my many searches.

Definitely agree with you.

Hi Peter,

I already have one, but thanks anyway. My guess is it will finish in the $350-$500 range.
