<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Notaphylic_C, post: 8279652, member: 130786&quot;]-your knowledge/observations of WEB notes is quite deep &amp; extensive. I apologize if I came across as if I didn&#039;t appreciate this. However, it is quite common for there to be a slight delay in such information to come to light or be accepted/embraced by the collector community. Many times collectors are coin collectors first &amp; banknote/prefix collectors second. They can be &#039;generalists&#039; &amp; unmoved by the finer details of which WEB note is rare (or common) &amp; let price guide them.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen this often (nobody really cares that much for today&#039;s rarities &amp; our Canadian notes are much more popular from 1970&#039;s and prior). </p><p>About 30 years ago, our Charlton catalogues didn&#039;t cover some of the signature change-overs &amp; the type of data we take for granted today. The hobby has truly improved over time &amp; that could be the case for the WEB pressed notes.&nbsp; I like special serial numbers but I know many collectors who don&#039;t care for them.</p><p>The reason I made my point about World collector demand (of our 1954 Devil&#039;s Face notes) was that I know that a series reputation can also influence the BV&#039;s and market values we&#039;ll see these notes sell for.&nbsp; I often use it is an example to illustrate how demand can often trump scarcity (in terms of the final hammer price these notes realize).&nbsp; The demand for that series always floors me. It is also possible that once world demand improves, there may also be more recognition &amp; demand for certain WEB blocks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Keep up the good work of disseminating your findings![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
