Several readers have asked if I can post the SG Catalogue numbers for the new stamps. These have been listed in the latest Gibbons Stamp Monthly.
Not surprisingly, a number change is the first thing as the 2nd class blue business sheet stamp was given a U number - with all the new stamps it is logical to allocate a new series of stamps as they have with booklets. The 2nd class blue business sheet changes from U4500 to V4500.
This is the full list so far, and these numbers will be included in our Checklist.
Booklet and Business Sheets - with source codes
V4500 2nd blue MBIL
V4501 2nd emerald MBIL
V4502 2nd emerald MEIL
V4504 1st dp violet MBIL
V4505 1st dp violet MEIL
V4506 1st dp violet MFIL
V4507 2nd Large grey-green MBIL
V4508 2nd Large grey-green MFIL
V4509 1st Large greenish-blue MBIL
V4510 1st Large greenish-blue MFIL
Counter Sheets - no source code
V4525 2nd emerald MAIL
V4526 1st deep violet MAIL
V4527 2nd Large grey-green MAIL
V4528 1st Large greenish-blue MAIL
Booklets
TB1 1st x 4
TC1 2nd x 8
TD1 1st x 8
TE1 2nd Large x 4
TF1 1st Large x 4
The latest, low value, high value, and new tariff stamps issued on 4 April are too new to have had numbers allocated. I suspect they may be a new range, maybe 455- or 46--. I'll update this when we know.
Interesting that no TA booklet at present. Could this be the prefix for the new PSBs ?
ReplyDeleteAny ideas why V4503 is missing?
ReplyDeleteIn answer to Trelantis - presumably that's reserved for "2nd emerald MFIL" (perhaps a necessary addition after the next price rise makes MEIL too expensive for the ordinary purchase??)
ReplyDeleteA very plausible suggestion, thanks Richard.
DeleteThanks Robert, that seems very plausible
DeleteProbably V4503 is reserved for 2nd emerald MFIL. This would also explain why TA is missing (TA1 could be 2nd x 4). It would fit perfectly into the sequence.
ReplyDeleteA bit too late for the renumbering of 2nd class MBIL my Windsor update pages were printed with U4500.
ReplyDeleteI think V4503 is being reserved for a custom booklet stamp MCIL maybe in the pipeline
ReplyDeleteI must admit that the date codes on the 1st large & 2nd large are very hard to see plainly, the 1st & 2nd printing overlaps the date.
ReplyDeleteThe June GSM has just landed on my mat and it includes the catalogue numbers for the fixed-value barcoded stamps. The way SG have chosen to list them comes as a bit of a surprise. I can add the listing if people ask, but I don't want to tread on Ian's toes!
ReplyDeleteMine arrived today as well, John, so I'll be adding them later, thanks.
