#4485623 is the block, and seems to me correctly registered on LD. Also the Michel number. A block in the Michel catalog usually has its own number, not the numbers of the stamps. And sometimes not ...  Not this one, it is known as 'small bows'. But: all different stamps so according to LD it is a 'Block'.

#5266997 is listed as se-tenant on LD. All stamps of the block together, nothing is missing. I can see that something like this also shows off on LD. However, the registration is incomplete. In addition to se-tenant, 'Series' should also be listed as a species, I think. It happens more often that all stamps of a series are on LD in a se-tenant form. Both on LD separately is not allowed, combining the 'presentation' is allowed.

That's how I understand it anyway (based on the manual and further info on the forum).

And to sidetrack further, since nobody remains faithful to the essence of this thread or takes it to heart  ...

This eg #7794605 is illegal. A se-tenant with 2 stamps from a sheet of 50 different ones (seal 46 and 47 connected).
Nobody has them, nobody wants them, and is nowhere for sale.
A seller who quickly polluted the catalog , to sell such a 'rarity'. And then that pollution lasts for years. Consequence of not (wanting to) read the agreements (handbook).
#8491687 ... # 8491691 ...
I already took a lot out of this area Denmark / Jul Seals (and other areas) (in title: DOUBLURE INCOMPLETE SERIES) but it got too much for me, so a few remain to stand. Finally: it takes a lot of time for me, and then it takes a lot of time with an administrator, and after that you get angry looks ...  
If I shop, I do not only look at the 'evaluations', but also at the registrations of the person who runs the shop. The quality of it also says a lot. So if they stay, that's an advantage in the long run lol

Anyone who knows something about mathematics can easily calculate how many different se-tenant combinations you can make from a sheet of 50 different ones: per 2, per 3, per 4 ... :)  That really doesn't belong in a catalog that respects itself, but it does on a purely commercial sales site. LD is still a few levels higher than 'purely commercial' (for the right listener: CW was not).

Various perforations is, in my opinion, a remnant of an earlier experiment (ca. 2013-2014) with the so-called "base seal". This was created for commerce, because it made the time-consuming determination of the correct variant unnecessary (thought: bulk commodity, not worthwhile to spend a lot of time on it). That was also the "justification" of slogans such as "various perforations, various watermarks, various printing procedures" and so on.
That experiment was not well thought out and of course failed, partly because there was  
  1. it was not indicated that it was a basic seal
2. the concept of basic stamp was not defined in the Handbook
3. no issue date could be attached
4.many had the impulse to fill in or correct data
5. the comments never refer to the various LD numbers of the variants

The only case where "various perforations" could be used out of necessity is a series. It may, for example, consist of a number of stamps of equal size, printed on the same machine and perforated with the same perforator. If stamps with horizontal and vertical format together form a series, it can happen that some have, for example, perforation 12x13 and the rest 13x12. (Appointment to measure perforation!), You cannot state that because the perforation field rightly does not contain a possibility to state a second perforation.

Yes Dick, then that series is 'toothed'. After all, the detail (which per stamp that is part of the series/issue) is in their own detail per item. After all, that's what the 'detail' of an 'item' is for.
Don't tell me now that you use ' Various perforations' knows more about the stamps separately from a series when it says 'Getand'.    And it is clearly the term 'Various perforations' that causes (major) problems.
I am slowly starting to get a rash like I come across or have to read 'Various perforations' again.

A series is only interesting for the commercial aspect of LD.  A prepackaged combination offer.  LD is ''The world's largest catalog & community for collectors' ( see main screen).  The commercial is subordinate to the main objective.  The main cause.
A 'series' item is not a study object for a collector, a stamp is.

Ultimately you have to dare to call a cat a cat.
How are you going to solve the initial problem raised by Lyonesse? How do you deal with such conflicts? That's the question that keeps me busy in this discussion, that's the topic.

Are you going to send the police after it?
Throw someone out with clicks and claps?
Against the wall and the bullet ?
Organize a boxing match to test who is the strongest?
Let the game continue to see who has the most patience (or is most willing to lose time)?
All items will freeze?

All kidding aside (to spice it up with a Northern Dutch expression), isn't all that necessary?
Make the choices that conflict with the basic objectives of LD ('Various ...') from the list boxes and we can all move on.

I'll do a thorough search in the entire catalog, but to my knowledge Stamps is the only category where there is a "series" (which, as Raoul indicates, is not a unique object). In all other sections the seller has to make a combination offer himself (in Cigar Bands even the "series" of 24 items).
Why should this be different in Stamps or are sellers too lazy for that?
All "series" de in the trash, or am I going too far and the war is coming my way??

That's right user-1713548 . These series items already existed in the database with which the stamp section was filled at the beginning. In practice, it turned out that sellers used them a lot to offer series in one go. That is why we have maintained them. But only with stamps indeed.

In itself there is nothing wrong with various perforations, as already indicated, this sometimes occurs in series.
What goes wrong is that this qualification has to be used in the right way.
But that money for all qualifications.
As far as I'm concerned, this topic can be closed.
I propose to Lyonesse and Loroit to leave the perforations as they are for the time being, because in the future there will be a complete renovation of the United States is planned.

Just for my understanding:
where else should "Various perforations" appear more than with series?
In principle, every item on LastDodo should be uniquely identifiable, so it seems to me that we should also use "Getand" instead. That can be used universally, also in series, right?

I wouldn't call it laziness, but it is a convenience that is offered in the commercial section on LD at Stamps. Perhaps the section with the largest turnover in numbers.
A bit laziness when sellers abuse such an opportunity to drop incomplete series in the catalog for their own benefit (see other message), and/or due to ignorance. That is against the agreements. Adding in the section should be an added value for everyone. If you can't generate added value, leave it that way. Adding a picture with the title 'Animal' to which no further info is added ... that is good for my proposal 'picture section' from my message from about half a year ago. Can be used as a slideshow for toddlers and preschoolers to keep them entertained.

There is also a non-commercial advantage to using series: you see the complete series (issue), and then you also notice which items may be missing from the issue. Then you can search for LD to place them at the correct issue, with the correct serial number in the series ... or add if necessary and possible.

A while ago I also thought 'abolish that trade (I mean the series items). But it offers comfort and grip. In other words, there is an added value.

Why this is not used in Cigar bands ... we believe that serial items would boost sales there. And it would be easier to roll out the 'coat rack' for new series. Those are now being added with one tape, with the hope that someone will add the other later under the correct series name. There are such 1-item series with the bands that have been waiting for their addition for 10 years.

If 'various perforations' should only exist for the series, and thus can continue to taint the other items (and cause war). Then I return to my original vision about series: abolish that trade.

Dear Rene,
An example is #4322979 A service series by Eva Peron.
It is more common in the Americas that the low values on small stamps were printed with a different perforation than the High Value stamps that were printed on a larger stamp size.
So we are talking about various perforations, the term Toothed alone does not indicate that the perforation is different, and is therefore unsuitable for this.

As Raoul has already said several times in this topic ...
The seller who is not interested in anything has as much of Getand as of Various perforations.
The collector who wants to know what it is about looks at each individual stamp and should be able to find the correct information there, including other issues or variants.

Jummeke,
There are not individual stamps of all series in the LD catalog, but other than that the data must be correct.
Even though not all users may be interested in this.

For anyone who understands how a relational database works, the "Series" entries are anathema. It is not allowed in such a database that unique information is entered twice.
In principle , the Series must therefore disappear from the database .
Then I am not talking about the catalogue , because it only concerns how the information is displayed , and technical solutions can always be devised for this.

It is certainly possible to design a tool with which administrators can indicate how the linked providers, collectors and searchers of a Series should be migrated to the relevant individual items (whereby these are automatically converted to a Combi offer in Shops). Just say the reverse of the Merge tool. (And as PHoving already indicated, the loose stamps from a series must of course already be in the catalog.)

It takes a lot of time, first for the programmers who have to build such a tool, and then for the administrators who have to split the items.
And if you choose that route, then you have to freeze all Series items and ensure that no new series can be added to ensure that you do not keep mopping with the tap open.
The same applies to the basic items with "Various perforations" (although splitting them cannot be controlled from above).

Blocking the ability to use "Series" or "Various perforations" on new items is a first step in the right direction.

We've talked about it and to avoid further confusion we want to remove "Various perforations" as a type and replace it with "Serrated" on the relevant items. We'll get to work on it next week.

We'll continue to think about deepening the catalog so that we can help both types of users: those who don't care what pressure a comic book is or what perforation the stamp exactly and she who does matter.

Have a good weekend everyone!

I think this is completely wrong, various perforations indicate that the item also has other perforations, and the moment you give this item the name perforations, everyone throws their seal at it.
it really becomes a mess.
it wasn't good before either, but that was because each item was named div perforations.
but because of that change, more stamps were added with the correct perforations.
so it worked positively.
by changing to dentate. people will no longer be informed that there are also other perforations, and people will no longer import stamps of the same stamp with a different perforation.
you will then get a standstill of importing those stamps with the correct perforation.
that change to div perforation went wrong from the start.
and it will certainly go wrong if that change does not take place until 2021, as with item #1115985 , after all, a new item with perforation 11 would have to be placed.
How do you think!!
and how do you come up with the item #1115985 with now the denominator div perforations then change to perforated. so that no one gets the information that there are different perforations.

That's not quite correct what you wrote about seal #1115985
It was changed back in 2021.
It was changed in 2013 in Tanding 11, and you made changes yourself in 2016, and I also made changes in 2015 see History of the stamp, so check before writing anything here.

I will look for who has stamps with 'Various perforations' in his shop, and put them in my shopping cart. If I buy it, then I also want to get all those different perforations. What you offer, you must deliver.
How many pinocchio will I have to hand out?

If one takes a closer look at the problem of Diverse Perforations, it turns out to be a big mess.
Take e.g. this stamp #321719 which is listed as MNH at 20,000 Euro
It is available after canceling between 27.00 and 73.95 and at such prices one does not even know which perforation one gets, strictly speaking they have not even bothered to measure the perforation, otherwise they would have made a scan or photo of the stamp and entered it in LD.
And one more question, what does strict mean Various Perforations for the shops, they are obliged to supply all perforations issued from a particular stamp.
Greet John.

Strictly speaking, you get all perforations for the requested price. Less strict ... perforations EN is plural, so as a buyer you can expect at least 2 different perforations.

But hey, it's just a discussion that is too crazy to run loose. Because of emotional blockages, continue to muddle without adjusting. This makes crazy games, as outlined in the beginning, possible. If you really want it, you can always mention in the details that there are various perforations. If it makes you sleep better...  It is by no means a concrete or fixed property  of something (an item) that you want to sell to collectors. Rather something for such a 'fish tank' with packaged knick knacks at the fair: 'Always price'.
No, I wouldn't put items with the property 'Various perforations' in my shop. That's rolling out the 'red carpet'. If you don't know what you're offering for sale, other sites are better suited for that. In a different arrangement: 'Lot of stamps for sale - everything is pictured - you buy what you see - no questions, just buy'.

As a repeat for the less attentive reader: look at the main page of LD: ' catalog & community for collectors'. It doesn't say for peddlers or hagglers.
And it's also not a site where you just have to tick one box (that you're a collector lol).

I think Rene made the right decision (message 4:38 PM) . Is it the ideal decision for everyone? No, because there is no such thing as the ideal one for everyone. But it will be clear now. At least for that aspect.
