S74 pricing reversal

[docpatlv]

I have noticed the colored silks (in decent shape) have been going for some decent prices. I actually thought it was the board member here who collects Meyers that won that. I would say they might be going for a little bit higher than white silks with backs. But I've seen more colored silks than whites with backs being offered lately.

i haven't followed these like i used to, but NO WAY should a nice s74-2 be worth more than a decent s74-1 with the back.

white silks with the paper backing still on are scarce, way way more scarce than a colored silk in nice condition.

i suppose values can ebb and flow depending on who's buying and who's not....but from a supply standpoint white silks with backing are much tougher than their multicolored counterparts.

leon, cool s74-2....and desirable with the off-set printing. nice pick up.

Leon,

Congrats on the pickup. I was one of the bidders early on due to my interest in the miscut.

I'm glad I was outbid since I already have that color S74.

Enjoy,

I have an Old Mill cut like this (far right on screen) so thought it would be neat to have a Turkey Red similar to it....shown before but apropos

Leon,

Though you refer to your S74-2 as a "misprint," as some of the other posters have noted, it's really a miscut. The darkened region that covers the factory and brand information is some sort of glue that was intended to keep the silk from unravelling at the top and bottom when cut. Given that all the printing and glue is at the bottom of your example, there is nothing to prevent this particular silk from unravelling at the top, as it has started to do at the upper right.

Best,

I just used a catch all phrase but technically it is a mis cut. However, how about that Old Mill in the middle? I have never seen another like that one. Sort of a mis cut and mis print all in one >.

And a follow up comment to Andy's. I know it has always been the norm that the paper backed S74's have been more costly, but from what I have seen lately, the colored ones are catching up.
