Scott #122, RARE straight edge corner UR, light cxl, XF. Straight edge stamps or stamps with selvedge info.
Imagine the number of strait edge stamps out of a printing pane (100) which means only 8 out of ten for having a any side straight edge... (taking out the 2 corners). This means that such straight edge has only 8% out of each pane... Indirectly, it brings an added Rarity Factor to the REAL value of straight edge stamps.. Specific position on a pane.
We must acknowledge that on a pane of 100 stamps, corner stamp DO have an indirect higher value. Because they are only 4 different and one for each corner of a pane!! Added rarity factor for Admirals, the black lines (forth picture) show where the 400 stamps plate is cut to form selvedge stamps and straight edge stamps. Any same side straight edge stamp has 16 possibilities out of 400 stamps printed or 4%.
Any corner straight edge stamp (center of the axis) or 0.25% out of 400 printed stamps. And that is an added rarity value over a single ordinary stamp of the pane.
#122 have been issued at 2,600,000 stamps... Divided by 400 stamps per pane and it gives us 6,500 outstanding panes of 400 stamps each.. Because it is a UR corner stamp.... And there is ONLY UR corner stamp per pane, means that there is ONLY 6,500 such RARE stamps(junction of the axis). How many are still there outstanding?????
The CV of this stamp is not based upon the Unitrade #122 value... But on what it is hereby explained.. Make up your own deduction and logic...And you will agree upon all where it is hereby explained.. O nly 6,500 potential stamps..
