With sugar packets, it's not that difficult to scan the backs.
At Thimbles it has become apparent that photographing the inside is too much of a task for some users. Then a user drops out, because he cannot add it. 2nd image (really visually confronting the inside because it really does make a difference if there is something or nothing to see there) is a must for thimbles. In order not to set the bar unnecessarily high: the experiment (which we evaluate positively and will apply generally in the meantime).
With stamps (watermark) it has been shown that this is an impossible task for most. There, the 2nd image is not a must. It is therefore often omitted. Sometimes, after a while, an informative image is added from an external source by another user.

Damn, I should have known that before. I can also use this for sugar packets with the same backs. And I just follow the LD rules....

No.
The second image, informatively supplementing the item's own image in the first position, clearly shows what should be visible on the inside.
The 'brand' or 'no brand' does make a difference for similar items.
It started as an experiment, and I'm fine with it.
The intention is that eventually the second image for each item will clearly highlight that aspect of a thimble.

With stamps, on the other hand, the 2nd image is also often informative. The 'watermark' images are almost never 'own' images. Often those images come from somewhere else. They also underline - informatively - what the watermark of that particular item looks like.

With cigar bands you also see the same 'image' recurring in series where nothing is on the back. There too the second image is informative, supporting the (own) main image of the item itself. What should be visible on the back.

Could also have been '10th section with a manual' as a milestone... I thought 2,000 would be better to channel some attention to that section.

Indeed. Thimbles that were originally invented, for example, to count money notes (in banks), when this was still manual work.
And at the postal service, when sorting letters. When that was still manual work.

You could also use them when collecting stamps. Not to protect your fingertips, but to protect the seals.
A protective rubber, as it were.

You can use it when 'sewing' of course.
But I use it for paper counting.
Shouldn't I get my finger wet every time...
And they also know this at the postal services...

Rubber #10144751 sometimes has a strange purpose :)

Was entered in the Other section and just transferred to the Thimbles section. Only the title had to be changed (after care when moving). Has now been adjusted.

Approaching Catawiki for collecting matters makes no sense. Approaching an administrator or (as now) asking a question on the forum usually leads to results.

I saw that Catawiki identifies this entry as "wrong heading", but it is a real thimble. What did I do wrong ? It is not possible to approach Catawiki, I arrive at a page of Veling.
