My Want List
This isn't literally my want list, because my want list has some 700 items
on it, totalling $6 million in Scott CV. But these are the harder-to-find
items that I'm confident that someone out there must have, and I'm listing
them in the hopes that someone might be able to hook me up with them.
Please keep in mind that my standards are very high for almost all
issues. Any of the following are likely to be automatic show-stoppers:
- Gum skips
- Pencil marks
- Hinge marks
- Any gum disturbance other than perf dimples or offset
- Less than XF quality, particularly in terms of centering
- $100 SCV without a cert
- Inclusions
Having said that, here are some of the more common items on my list which
have nevertheless been difficult for me to find. In some cases (identified
by italicized text), I already have the issue and simply want a better copy
than what I have. So before contacting me, you should probably check out
my copy to verify that yours is actually better than mine.
Anyways, if you think you can set me up with something on this list,
by all means send me a scan. And
if it's a color variant, if you can include a scan of a "normal" issue,
that would be greatly appreciated.
