I started to put up a couple of hundred MNH Germany ranging from earlies to 60's Semi-postal sets.
The gum seems a bit shinier than other countries 0 is this normal? A few I can tell are almost certainly glazed gum from the old mounts - but even the ones with nice thin gum that don't appear glazed just seem overly shiny.
Would appreciate any help here as I do not want to put up anything with damaged gum (some of the NH add-ons are impressive)...
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Will probably not log back in until tomorrow morning but wanted to get start on tomorrow's work...
Thanks - just needed a baseline to work from. Have a 102 box full of mint hinged which likely aren't glazed to compare to but needed to establish a comfort level. I have two bankers boxes of stuff to go to the APS so far and looking at shipping costs it looks like perhaps a mini vacation down to Pennsylvania this spring is in order.
We are also involved in the Antique Automobile Club of America which has headquarters and a museum in Hershey so it would be a nice change of pace for a week or so..
