Aegean island set in MNH and well as the Castelloriza Is. set as well.
Also have CE1 and CE2 MNH with stain.
But all have the same stain and pattern as the ones shown..
My first question of course is how does the stain effect the value of these
sets?
And out of curiosity, do you have any idea as to how these stains happened.
Thanks

Well doesn't that just take the biscuit!
Looks to me like they were hinged onto paper at some time and have picked up an imprint from the page.

"And out of curiosity, do you have any idea as to how these stains happened."
My guess would be that they were once wrapped in cellophane (or similar mount) and the mount sealed with tape that bled through the opening.
If the toning were only in one direction, I would have suspected a stockbook with poor glue on the strips, but the cross shaped nature of the toning is unusual.

That depends on whether someone is buying or selling.
Buying; "Oh shucks, I'd gladly pay full catalogue
for them except for the stains."
Selling;"Such tiny stains can be easily cleaned
without affecting the value."
Collector; "I'd probably never be able to afford
or even find better examples."

In a box lot I found the following: This Italian set and the entire
Aegean island set in MNH and well as the Castelloriza Is. set as well.
Also have CE1 and CE2 MNH with stain.
But all have the same stain and pattern as the ones shown..

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
