This is sheet #3419539 . How many combinations are included?. There are two different types of tabs. As many tabs as stamps.
This is what the manual says,
10.1. Stamp with Tab Stamps with an illustrated vignette without postage value attached to the stamps may be included. If this vignette is included in the sheet with every stamp as standard, it will be included as a type of 'stamp', possibly with 'stamp with tab' as the second type. The loose stamp without a tab may not be included as a separate item in this case. The stamp without vignette can be used as a 2nd image, not as a new item. Only one combination of the item is allowed in the catalog. So no separate items such as tab on the left, tab on the right, tabs above, tab on the left and right, etc. A tab on the left or right is not a new item, but can be placed as a 2nd or 3rd image. If clearly fewer tabs than stamps are included in a sheet, both an item with the type 'stamp' and a separate item with the type 'stamp with tab' may be included in the catalogue. The tab is therefore not standard on every stamp. So the stamp as a stamp and the stamp with vignette as a stamp with tab. A stamp with sheet edge as 'tab' is not included as a separate item. The exception is Israel, where the sheet edge is often used as a tab and is the common way of collecting in this area

One item or two items?.

If I read the definition I would say that both the stamp with tab with priority French and the stamp with tab with priority Dutch may be included, but the stamp without tab ( #3667943 ) is not.

Not quite. You can add the image as second image to both French and Dutch items.

So stamps with a different tab, from a sheet, are included as a separate item?. I can't find this in the manual. The stamp without tab is described in the handbook. Only with which item will it appear?.

Charles1971 Wake up?
1 stamp with tab may be included, and you add the stamp without tab as the 2nd image.
So not different stamps, and that's why you can't find this in your handbook
and Loriot also said this

I thought I read this in the aartinge handbook, but DOUBLURE was approved. #9597249 see history, and which was already there #697251 . Strange but true.

Charles1971 so you weren't awake yet.
#9597249 is not a duplication, find the 7 differences when you are awake.
you have Dutch/French and you have French/Dutch. 6 differences remain.

Charles1971 you're right, but I thought these stamps were just issued separately.
I have now seen the overview, and come from a sheet, and also the stamp without tab

The stamp without a tab is therefore actually a damaged/incomplete item. When we all sleep in, can we add a Se-tenant of the 2 seals and a Series of the 2 seals??

user-1713548 1 stamp without tab and several stamps with tab is 1 item if it comes from a Sheet/Block.
a se-tenant is a separate item, and since the same line se-tenant vertically or horizontally is 1 item.
and what do you mean by
add a Series of the 2 stamps??

aartinge Charles1971 I'm just reading what it says and trying to understand something.
- is not a duplication, ... you have Dutch/French and you have French/Dutch
- So another tab is a separate item... you're right
- My conclusion : if there are 2 items (nl or fr first) then I can make a Series of 2 items
- My conclusion : if there are 2 items (nl or fr first) then I can create a Se-tenant of 2 items (the largest possible combination, position indeed not important)
- 1 stamp without tab and several stamps with tab is 1 item if it comes from a Sheet/Block. That is just the opposite of the previous message, because then all the others would be duplicates??

???
The manual says:
"10. Type
...
A Set consists of one or more stamps.
"

In this case there are two items but only one stamp. You just can make a set of one stamp, not two.

Good read Yummie.
The following 2 rules apply to a Se tenant:
10.12 Se tenant:
⦁ All postage stamps in a se-tenant differ from each other (image, colour, value and/or imprint or other differences);
⦁ Vignettes are allowed in a se-tenant (there are at least two real stamps);
If you combine these rules, it says that a vignette can only be a se-tenant if it has 2 different postage stamps attached to it. And unfortunately you can't frank with a vignette yet.
So please put that se-tenant out of your mind. Several people try to make that clear to you. :-)

Charles1971
While I'm working on definitions, I'll also give my view on your initial question. I think it's great that you manage to find such a problem every time. The first part of the definition is:
Stamps with an illustrated vignette without franking value attached to the stamps may be included.
- If this vignette is included in the sheet with every stamp as standard, it will be included as a type of 'stamp', possibly with 'stamp with tab' as the second type.
- If clearly fewer tabs than stamps are included in a sheet, both an item with the type 'stamp' and a separate item with the type 'stamp with tab' may be included in the catalogue. The tab is therefore not standard on every stamp.
I will skip over the question of whether the vignette is illustrated. The question is whether this vignette is included in the sheet with every stamp. The answer to this question, to the letter of the definition, is clearly no. The vignette is in singular. Everyone distinguishes 2 different vignettes (otherwise the question would not have been asked). The vignette N/F is not on every stamp, about half. This also applies to the vignette F/N.
Part 2 of the definition is also not entirely correct, because there are as many tabs as stamps in the sheet. There are only fewer equal tabs than stamps: 7/15 and 8/15 respectively. Here the definition needs to be changed. The second part of this section is correct. The tab (singular) is therefore not on every stamp here.
So according to the definition, this tab belongs in the second part of the definition.
But maybe you should think more in the spirit of the definition here. It is customary to alternate texts in Dutch and French on Belgian stamps. That has also happened here on the tabs and perhaps both different tabs should be considered identical. And if we consider the tabs to be identical, then they satisfy the first part of the definition. However, this is an exceptional case and there is a lot to be said about it. It's also weird to think of it as the same tabs at first and then put them in the catalog as 2 different items.
That is why I prefer to follow the definition literally and opt for the second option. So 2 items N/F, one with stamp type and one with stamp type with tab. In addition, for F/N also 2 items.

While it will be a fine definition in itself, I expect it won't work in practice. I think most importers don't know how the tabs are in the sheet. Will it be 1 item or will it be 2 items? It is a mystery to most and so they just do something. Then it's up to the administrators to find out and put everything right. If they are lucky, the sheet is already included in the catalog. In most cases it will be a puzzle.
I recommend making the tab definition user friendly. Make it 1 item by default or make it 2 items by default. That is easier for everyone. The above discussion makes that clear.

Hmmm, user-1713548 , you may indeed be right. I need to let this sink in a bit more. The az60 reasoning already helps, remains difficult indeed.

Oh well az60 , it's really not hard to find a problem case with stamps. But this is what makes collecting so much fun. If everything was just collecting, so without uncertainties, so without any tension, I would have given up long ago.

In this case, #3419539 , if I think about it. An entry. No series, no se-tenant user-1713548 .

The stamp is only there once. The tab indicates whether Dutch or French first, only the tab is separate from the stamp, as a good tab does. The stamp without a tab is always the same.

In my opinion an item, with the other tab as the second image and the stamp without tab as the third image. Correct me if I am wrong, please.
