Which British Colony is the most popular - philatelicly speaking? Perhaps the album publishers could tell us but what can we learn from the catalogues? We assume a catalogue value reflects supply as well as demand but perhaps there’s a way of removing the supply variable.
At this point, (before scrolling further down the page), have a go at answering the opening question for those British posessions that issued Windsor Castle stamps for the 1935 Silver Jubilee.
While specimen stamps are not a “must have” for all collectors, they do have an advantage for our purposes: the same number being produced for each territory. Hence, catalogue value should reflect solely the demand. On this basis, the table below gives current popularity.
