More on the press sheet

In today's Linns stamp news, there was an add by Marlen Stamps offering the entire uncut press sheet for the Children's Games issue for $159. So, if you missed out on the offer to get it from the Philatelic Service (although, I am not sure if it is sold out or not, so you might have a chance to still get it from them), and don't want to chance an e-bay auction (where the lowest start price I have seen is $150), you can get it for just about double the new issue price from Marlen.

Hi there
I have inherited a set of Israeli 1948 Coins Doar Ivri stamps, unmounted o.g. with tabs. In mint superb condition and with certificates. At a loss where or how to sell them and need an expert ! Wonder if you can help :-)
Am located in UK.

It depends on whether you have the full set (1-9) or jus tthe low values (1-6). The Tabs of the 3 high values (250, 500, 1000) are worth a considerable amount (Decent sets sell in the $4000-$5000 range). If it is just the 6 low values, you are looking in the neighborhood of $200. I know Michael Bale used to sell Israel stamps out of England, not sure if he still does. Other than that, I can point you to a few dealers in the US, or you can try your luck on E-bay.

Hi Adam
Thanks for getting back to me.
1 have the 250, 500 and 1000 perf.11, 7-9, unmounted o.g. with tabs. superb. The 250 has full right sheet margin, the 500 has part of right sheet margin and of the slightly scarcer bottom of tab, and the 1000 has bottom selvedge. All stamps are line-perforated 11x11, fine to very fine centers. Dr. Gotlib and BPA Certs (1967) Bale Cat 1978.
I hope that tells you the information and I appreciate your help on this.
Kind regards
Glen Berd

That is 7-9. With the certificates and in the condition you describe, you should be able to get $5000 or more for them. Let me know if you want me to point you to some dealers in the US who may be interested.
