Sparks Auctions #1 Updates, Corrections & Errata

Lot Number	Correction
37 & 43	We have had a chance to more closely examine both of these stamps. Both should have been sent for a certificate before lotting. We strongly recommend that the winning bidder purchase them on extension.
37	Price is incorrect in print and PDF, should be "Unitrade: $450"
42	Price is incorrect in print and PDF, should be "Unitrade: $2100"
75	Is not Bothwell paper.
95	Is not Bothwell paper.
122	Block of six at time of describing, now two strips of three.
139	This block is two expertly rejoined pairs.
285	"Plate 31" [not 21]

1072	"This item has a difficult to see closed tear of approximately 2mm in the lower right corner."
1074	"It has a fake cancel over a partially lightened fiscal cancel." [Somehow our initial observations were lost and this was incorrectly described.]
1084	This stamp is Scott #113 (CV$45)/SG #157a (CV £60).
1088	One 5 rupee stamp is not George VI (SG/Sc.#34) but rather George V (SG/Sc.#14) and therefore catalogues £137 SG ($135 Scott). Scan
1140	This item is expertly regummed to appear never hinged.
1267	All stamps are lightly hinged. 10¢ and 12¢ each have a short perf (visible in scan) which is quite trivial. Three lower values have no short perfs.
1353	Withdrawn at request of consignor.
1563	There is trivial thinning in part of the third and last perf tips. There is also a closed pinhole.
