Also worth checking is a beautiful Canada #8 with a rare BC #7 cancellation for Lytton, BC. The Unitrade doesn't even list this on Canada's stamps! John, you should send off an email!

Nothing against bigcreekdad (Troutbum Stamps), but potential buyers should be aware of this warning in the Unitrade catalogue
It is nearly impossible to measure a perforation like 12.1 using the type of "dots" perforation gauge that he shows against the stamp.

If you do, you should use the Vincent Graves Greene Foundation in Toronto.

Your posting (15 Aug 2023 11:43:35am) image says 26a has to measure at least 12.1, where on the perf. gauge would 12.1 be located.
Please give me an education as I don't how where 12.1 is hope you don't mind?

If you look at the scale on the right 12 is right in the middle of the area denoted by 12 and 12.1 is directly above it. It's a great perforation guide and the one all of us should use. Even with that guide it's not always easy to tell exactly what the perfs are especially as our eyes get a bit older and our patience gets a bit thinner. Thankfully I've had most of my questionable stamps for a while and my wife's eyes, and patience, were better than mine!!

It's off to Greene tomorrow. I'll report back. Of course I hope it is indeed a 26a, but I just don't want to list it in my store if there is a chance I'm wrong. Obviously, the cost of the cert will carve into any profit if it ultimately sells, but I think misidentifying stamps in your store will eventually put you out of business.

I just got an e-mail alert that John O'Neil has a beautiful copy of Canada 26a on his Troutbum Stamp site on HipStamp for a very fair price. Thankfully I already have an excellent copy so it's available for one of you to pick up. You really should check out his selection of great Canada material. He even shows the backs of the stamps!!! There are some excellent, and quite rare, varieties there!!
