Who knows more about these stamps? #10263909 ?.
The country seems to me to be Italian states - Sardinia . With such a catalog value, more and correct data must be provided.

I think the certificate states that it is a color proof of a stamp of an unissued design.

And yes, it says Kingdom of Sardinia on the certificate.

Charles1971 , here is a link to Paolo Cardillo's site on which he offers a single color proof of Cardillo No. 36a - according to the text, Sassone did not include this stamp in the catalog - for €45.

He has another one on his site: https://spcstamps.com/collections/europa-area-italiana-antichi-stati-italiani-regno-di-sardegna-iii-emissione

Cardillo Catalog No. P36a, Sassone not catalogued.

I think it's a strange story Esquerdo, with this Paolo Cardillo. These stamps were therefore not issued and are not in the Sassone, but are in the Cardillo catalogue. His own catalogue.

Charles1971

I'm not familiar with Italian stamps. It does not sound strange to me that a standard catalog does not include tests, but that an expert does compile a catalog of such tests. It is a specialist subject. And specialist catalogs are not always published by or under the big names.

An example that hits closer to home for me is Douglas Myall's Machin Handbook, the bible for Machin collectors. Don't come to me with Stanley Gibbons numbers for Machins. They don't mean anything to me: Deegam or Connoisseur is much more accurate. (NB Connoisseur was prepared by a specialist dealer and is used by John M. Deering of Machin Watch.) I imagine someone who collects proofs from Sardinia would consider Sassone as fireplace kindling paper.

The catalog seems real to me. I cannot tell you to what extent the entered price is a wish price. I don't really see what the green color proof has to do with this. The certificate does not address this. If you have any reservations about what has been introduced, I can understand that.

It is possible that this item, #10263909, is an expensive item.
But can this item even be included in the Catalog?
It says so in the Postage Stamp Handbook.

We do include sheets in the catalogue, but field parts such as pairs, blocks/strips of 4 (or 5, 6, etc.), combinations of sheets or blocks, stamps with leaf edges, coin dates and any other divisions are not included.

On the other hand, this is a color test. Does the manual provide such items at all?

Proofs do not necessarily exist in the format in which stamps are ultimately issued, if at all. By the way, it appears from the links I posted above that some copies of this color proof also exist.

I think color proofs are indeed not included with stamps Esquerdo and Lyonesse. They have no postage value. Personally, I think it is best to include this unpublished color proof, a three-strip, not included in a trusted catalogue, in fantasyland?. Or someone must know something better.

Charles1971, I don't think that equating studies and proofs for real stamps with fantasy work that has nothing to do with stamps will contribute positively to the catalog's reputation.

Perhaps a new usage type is a better option.

Delete is the other option Esquerdo . In fantasyland, without postage, at least they are still included in the catalogue.
As said, or someone must know something better?.
