Thanks for the info. Yeah i know about base 1st edition 3d the pic i put up was just to show close up of how messy the black ink can be in places. Jagged not clean etc. Whats v interesting about the link is the 3d thinner stamp as the more variations in genuine stamps the more likely rocket has several real stamp variations aswell. Id love to see the 2 smudged rocket 1st edition cards that members kindly added closer up like i posted v recently to have a good compare of the 3 stamps.
Was looking through pinn033ās great collection and spotted this. Seeing them lined up together you can see the differences in clarity of various cardsā¦
I cannot quite explain why, but this thread makes me not want to collect 1st Editions anymore.
Not for fear of fakes or frauds, but because seeing how infinitesimally inconsistent they can be from one another has demystified them to the point where they just feel like⦠ink. The illusion is gone. Nothing means anything anymore.
Sorry you feel like that. My intention was just to show off what i thought was a neat little error. Ive never looked into this level of detail until now. One good thing is that everybodies cards are unique not one identical and thats pretty magical in my eyes.
I know what you mean. At the end of the day we are all just collecting inked cardboard one way or the other ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
I do actually feel the fear and stress of fake 1st Ed stamps but I donāt let it stop me. I just have more to learn about the variations and what to look out for. The fun and the chase outweighs the stress for me.
There are allot of differences in the cards that people donāt realise like colour differences and bold tekst,⦠Itās because this was pointed out that people (myself included) realised an inconsistency was under our noses all along. I wasnāt aware of the 1st stamp centering but ive been looking into colour differences for ahwile now and there is a bunch to find. For me these inconsistencys actually hold more value because they can teach how cards are made and they just are more interesting i think. ^^ if more people would learn of these centered 1st stamps iām certain some weird stuff would come up. Hehe
Thanks and yeah it definitely is. Unless something major turns up like another p error im going to let the thread enter the wilderness maybe not close it incase something does pop up from me or another but wont be posting just any old rubbish. Thanks everyone for helping.
