ABNC Transfer Die

You have to wonder if someone will pay $700 or north of that for the stock, what would they pay for the transfer die, printing plate, and proofs?

Got you thinking, eh? AIA takes consignments...

 

never, took too much time and money to get that plate done, but this makes me feel all that much better about having done it. Regardless, it is one of my favorite parts of my collection.

 

On eBay, David Lawrence has over 600 ABNCo plates at $1,351.50, Buy it Now. A while back they were $1,590.00, or best offer. I think he sold a few at Best Offer then, but who knows what the Best Offer was.

A few years back I bought an ABNCo plate for a Venezuela provincial stamp [i.e., no Scott number] for $50. Recently on eBay, ABNCo plates have been going in the $100 to $600 range, depending on how interesting the image was.

 

Yes, I've been watching those. The prices seem way out of line. Most of them are Latin American postage stamps, but there are a few more interesting ones. There were initially 2000+ posted, now I think there are less than 800. But they don't show up as being sold, so I think many of the listings were just pulled. Maybe he had an in-person buyer.

 

Was board this morning so started searching railroad stocks on ebay. Just added a second stock to my collection to go along with this die and plate. Will be happy to mount it and hang it under the die print Mike Bean did for me. Always excited when I add something to this unexpectedly. Will post pictures when it arrives.

 

Beautiful certificate, Darryl!

 

Thanks Greg, Seem like every 5 years or so I add to the group. It was a nice find at a good price.

 

Just found this thread @USS656 and was immediately engrossed. Awesome collection. Thanks for the lessons and sharing.

 

Thank you, what I love about these is that they are easy to display and because of how unique they are I don't mind leaving them out in my office. As a group they tell a story of the process and end result. Have really enjoyed the journey. Moments like today's brings this thread back to life for newer members to find. Glad you enjoyed it! Best Regards ~ Darryl
