Very undercatalogued in Scott, about right in SG, the Costa Rica SCADTA stamps were handstamped in very low numbers (ignore the image in Scott which shows a false machine cancel - the Costa Rica overprints were all handstamped, except the 30c which was also machine stamped in Berlin). There were only 75 overprints of the 60c and just 50 examples of the 1 peso. Two shades of the 30c value are included in this short set.

The ABNC Timbre Mobile series of revenues underwent numerous printings between 1924 and the late 1950’s. The marginal examples in this set are from the very first printings around 1924, recognised by the F number in the margin. F7361 and F7460 are the earliest print order numbers in the series, out of 46 different print orders. This set is ex Brian Moorhouse and formed the basis for his Mainsheet article on these stamps in 1991 (Volume 16, No. 61). Overprinted SPECIMEN with punch holes.$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
