Pictorial Issues
In the past, the Stanley Gibbons catalogue used to list compound and mixed perforations for the Tasmanian Pictorial series. The mixed perforations were deleted from the catalogue, probably for two reasons. Firstly, the listing was similar to compound perforations at it was decided to combine the listing. Secondly, dual listings for similar varieties/errors were confusing to the general collector. The mixed perforation errors in this auction will refer to the S.G. compound perforations, but will have more relevance and rarity when compared to the listing in the Brusden White catalogue, published in 2004.
