1897 (April) - 1901, 5c Green

1897 (April) - 1901, 5c Green

This block of 4 is one of the bargains I picked up on eBay. Picking up bargains requires a lot of time in front of screen and a lot of bidding strategies - some naughty some less so. ;)

The International Stamp & Coin Sdn Bhd Catalogue 2007-2009 Edition (ISC) prices this stamp at RM240. Four of this will command RM960 - and being a block (of 4), it will fetch more than RM1,000, typically RM240 times the price of 5. The ISC is conservative in its prices, though - maybe because it's Malaysian!

The most widely used international catalogue, the Stanley Gibbons Catalogue (SG) has this stamp at £50.00 each. At 5 times it will be closer to £250.00.

P/S, I am prepared to take reasonable offers. ;)
