This is a curious issue, always sold as a 1906 provisional issue but actually unofficially produced in 1915 by a Venezuelan tailor. The 10c value is printed on pink/red paper and signed N. Cardenas (the agent of the San Cristobal post office in 1906) “There are no stamps”. Couple of pinpoint paper disturbances.$65.00

The 15c value of this stamp has a 15c double variety that is catalogued at a 1300% premium. Brian Moorhouse argues in the Mainsheet that these stamps may well have been duty and key plate printed. The 15c stamp in this particular set would seem to evidence that, as the numeral can be seen to be printed in a much darker shade of red (as quoted in Mainsheet) when compared with the regular 15c stamp. This is the only copy I’ve seen with this colouration. Additionally, this set includes the 40c value in a darker shade of blue than is found on the regular stamp.These stamps were hand gummed and hand perforated (hence typical irregular perfs). Very undercatalogued with only 5,000 sets printed.$60.00

Pro Patria commemorative overprint service stamps. Erroneously listed in Scott as essays, these were a private overprint on an official stamp. The red AERO overprint is particularly scarce with only 1000 copies printed. MNG as issued.$115.00

A scarce error, created when the first E of ENTEGRA ESPECIAL (appearing at the top of E2) was not obliterated in one of the cliches. This error is found on only one stamp in every sheet of E3. Just 500 were printed, with the number of survivors from postal use being even lower. Very undercatalogued. Short perf to bottom left corner.$95.00

Forged overprints appeared on the market soon after this stamp was circulated. Genuine examples have a 27mm overprint, forgeries measure 29mm. Sanabria states 150 inverted examples exist, SOCORICO quotes 200. Either way, scarce in genuine form.$45.00
