Diena CONDITION The various grad ings of stamps are , in order : superb ; extremely fine ; very fine ; fine ; fair A lot described as " fair " is so listed either by reason of general appearance or more often because of a small fault or faults , such as a crease , thin spot , short or missing pert , perforated into , cut into , etc .

In the case of sets , large blocks, sheets , etc. , the condition quoted represents the average and quality above and below this standard can be expected .

Mixed condition: In large lots, the condition is generally expected to range from fair to at best fine. Serious defects can be expected .

Unused without gum , as issued .

BLOCKS OR SHEETS AND THEIR GUM Minor separations are the rule , rather than the exception , in the case of blocks or sheets of any size . A few two perts per row-<Jo not affect the value of a block or sheet and are not grounds for the separations-around return of a lot.

PAIRS All pairs are horizontal , unless otherw ise mentioned .

CATALOGUE NUMBERS The catalogue numbers of the contents of the lots are given in parentheses immediately following the descriptions , but in bulky lots only the range of issue is shown .

CATALOGUE VALUES The final column shows the catalogue value of the lot. This is shown in parentheses where , in the opinion of the auctioneer , the market value exceeds this figure .

ESTIMATED VALUES If an estimated cash value is given , it is shown in the description and always indicated by the abbreviation " Est. Cash Val. " It is used where the lot is large or where the actual value has little relation to the catalogue price .

It represents the auctioneer 's appraisal of the true MARKET value of a lot and the figure is invariably close to the actual realization . It is useless for mail bidders to list any bids that are only a low proportion of such estimates .
