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?.

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.

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 Personally, I think it is best to include this unpublished color proof, a three-strip, not included in a trusted catalogue, in fantasyland?.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.

Searching by location is also a wish of mine. Doesn't seem difficult to me, but it's not possible yet.

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.

Is it somehow possible to change the Location of multiple items at once (bulk). For example, if I want to put all stamps from 'overseas territories' in a separate album. Then I would like to change the Location of the stamps in question to this new album.
Or if I want to create an album by theme, for example Flora and Fauna, and mention this with the stamps.

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.

Just enjoy your stamp collection and let Lastdodo help you. But in the meantime we are trying to improve the stamp catalog (and that sometimes leads to some discussion). But we also try to help where we can, so feel free to ask any questions.

The title of the thread indicates where was searched, but not found (?). Let's convert what is now the Issue field into something that has its use and value. Until then my answer is yes,

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.

https://www.usfi.eu/i-libri-e-le-pubblicazioni/paolo-cardillo/

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.

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.

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.

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.

Y&T states the overprint for this block 
"EMPIRE
CENTRAFRICAIN"
(2x)
Both for this item and for the many items that were similarly overprinted when the empire was founded in 1976-1977, Y&T always shows the shape and the nature of the letters of these overprints, but without mentioning the colour of the overprint anywhere. 
Y&T also explains that in general the colour of the overprint is stated if the overprint is not black.
For all the aforementioned overprints, the catalologue Y&T does not mention a colour anywhere, which suggests that Y&T does not know it itself or that the overprints have many possible colors at random.
See also:

where some colours of overprints are mentioned.

Thank you all, but from the responses I understand that it is all very difficult/confusing. What it is and how it should be done, I dare not say.

The silver color appears shifted. There is a border that appears as if a previous silver print has been removed, without removing the border at all. One explanation could be that this is one of those more modern forgeries and someone removed the silver rectangles and then improperly added new ones with the red print. Then the silver should be a kind of foil stamping. This can be removed without damaging the rest of the print.

If you pay attention to the two A's (on the red version), the first A is more round and a bit lower. The second A is higher and more straight.
I think someone tampered with it.
It doesn't seem to me that you are going to issue/print a stamp or block with all different letters/fonts.

Also the edge of the red version is weird, it's a kind of white edge (seems 3D) compared to the photo of the black one (isn't always reliable either, I could be wrong)

It's certainly not an ink swap. It's a completely different stamp. The font in the black, known version is neat (the 2 N letters look the same). They are different in the red version.
In any case, the C is shaped completely differently. And the red letters are not all the same height or width.


The possibility that some creative person might have painted it on by hand...

Lyonesse
I think so too, but definitely? No...hence the forum. Maybe someone knows more about it. I'm not going to just relegate something to 'Fantasyland' or the area with the addition of ' - Illegal releases'. There must be reasonable certainty.
I use several sources for this, including this one mentioned by Esquerdo, from John Lowe.

There is no visible indication that the red print has been tampered with. The source is known for its many variants - with or without the client's consent - and for its inadequate archives. It looks like the red print exists. The question then is what its status is.

I don't think this one with red print exists.
Here is the original 1977 overprint of a 1976 block.

Yes, I know many cowboy stories from that man. He bought, among other things, an uninhabited island so that he could make a stamp for it.
It is responsible for tens of thousands of illegal issues worldwide, and has not become poorer for it. Well infamous.

The key words for each issue and series should be simple, practical and clear.

I completely agree with that. Unfortunately, there are now many different interpretations of 'issue' that are neither simple nor practical and the opposite of clear.

Format International Security Printers!

https://golowesstamps.com/reference/formatprinters/FormatInternationalSecurityPrinters.htm

Opinions about this printing company are strongly divided. There is a connection there with Clive Feigenbaum who does not exactly have a clean image.

I find such a block in a paper catalogue, Michel 16, but in a series with 'schwarzen auf silberen Bdr.-Audruck'.
The print here is clearly red on silver...
I cannot find any reference to a possible earlier or later print in a different color. My catalog of Central Africa is almost 10 years old.
Anyone have an idea what's going on here?

Possibly a local industrious person was creative...

The issue field includes everything issued on that date, i.e. self-adhesive or gummed or FDC or combination from a booklet.
Your basic definition includes 2 things that still need to be refined (correct wording can be further determined on the forum):
- everything issued on that date "and which forms 1 logical whole or theme", postal administrations have the habit of issuing multiple issues on the same day
- Country and Issue are independent of each other (and filterable), so it is possible that the 1984 WWF Issue is on a different date in each country (for information: the old notation with which the country is included in the issue name is slowly being replaced by administrators deleted).
