St. Vincent Grenadines - BEQUIA Train #11/27 IMPERF Proofs 4 diff. F/VF-NH

Description: St. Vincent Grenadines - BEQUIA Train #11/27 IMPERF Final Stage Color Proofs 4 diff. F/VF-NH. Possible Minor Gum wrinkles on some, still Very Scarce. Locomotive | Train. Saint Vincent Grenadines joined other commonwealth countries in the production and issuance of the Leaders of the World Automobile and Locomotive series of stamps.For many series of the countries involved the Proofs (from progressive color trial proofs) have either been lost or possibly never saved by the printer. Each value that was produced required 120 panes of 25 pairs (300 panes of 10 pairs of the later issues on the Saint Vincent Dependencies side) multiplied by the seven stages. In other words 840 panes of 25 or 2100 panes of 10 just for one value. So because of the difficulty of storing them many have been damaged over the years. And because of the stigma and misrepresentation by certain out of date experts and dealers who have placed upon them terms such as "wallpaper" and "junk" these rarities have been abused and mishandled over the years to the point of total destruction for many issues. For the Saint Vincent Grenadines Cars and Trains progressives most of the reprinted values that were saved were held in the police evidence stock taken in the raids against the printing company to be used against the owners and associated companies in the trials against them which ended up with not guilty verdicts on all charges. These varieties were literally thrown in police evidence bags, kept into crates and stored until 2008 when they were released.It appears that some sets are very scarce or simply doesn't exist and also that some color stage have been lost. So the price depends of the rarity of each stamp. There are different naming with same type issues not to be confused: St.Vincent St.Vincent Grenadines St. Vincent Grenadines - Bequia and St. Vincent Grenadines - Union IslandPursuant to the guidelines for all sales of tangible goods, taxes will be collected and remitted to the appropriate tax authorities.
