Currently, more than 500 overprint and plate flaws are listed in the latest Michel catalogue for the colonial stamps. But only a few have images in the Michel catalogue. This often makes it difficult for the collector to identify them. Therefore, the ArGe has planned to publish a catalogue of overprint and plate flaws in its anniversary year 2028. It is intended to show the errors listed in the Michel catalogue as well as verifiable but still unlisted errors on the basis of original images and to provide additional information (e.g. the plate location). In order to complete the required images of the overprint and plate errors, we need the help of all ArGe members who have the appropriate stamps and can provide us with images of the stamps as a scan (ideally with 1,200 dpi resolution). <\/span><\/p>\n The inventory list shows which imprint and plate defects are still being sought: <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/kolonialmarken.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Plattenfehler-Bestandsliste-2026-05.pdf” button_text=”Inventory of plate flaws” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_button][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
