Can a Supermanager add the Item, Facsimile [philately] ?. English, Facsimile [philately] French, Facsimilé [philatélie] and German, Faksimile [Philatelie].

Wikipedia Germany, translation,
In philately, imitations of rare stamps from private sources are called facsimiles. However, this imitation must differ from the original; otherwise, it would be an illegal forgery . A simple facsimile marking on the back is not sufficient for this. The deviation can occur in the stamping paper used, in the color, in the perforation , or in the printing process . A facsimile is a stamp that only resembles the original.


#11806373 is currently listed under Other-Reproduction but can be moved to the new item. There are also several in the Stamps, Germany section, including, #8925159 #6937333 #6937291 #7154329 #2896605 #2896683 #9002939 etc.

Charles1971 since blueprints/black prints and other types of reproductions appear on stamps. Why aren't these allowed then? Because they weren't issued by NPVH?

Don't get Helv ?. Blueprints or black prints are a whole different story in my eyes. These were made with the original plate.

They are all reproductions of stamps that were issued in a way that is clearly recognizable as such.
In the past, the purpose of a facsimile was to fill a gap in an album. With the German editions, that seems less likely to me, as the originals never appear to have been published as a block.

Have you taken a good look at the items I indicated Helv? For example, #8925159 . It clearly says Faksimile here. And no blueprint or black print.

Conceptually, the word Facsimile on the item makes no difference, does it?

Charles1971 wouldn't it be better to start setting up a separate "Philately - Other" section already?
I also have a few highly collectible "Alliierte Besetzung - Gemeinschaftsaugabe" with sheet margins in Plate and Roller print that I want to import somewhere.

Now we are fragmenting more and more. Collectioneur would really have to think along about whether and how that is possible.

As an addition to the above Helv, currently it is quite easy in the 'Other' category to switch from philatelic items to non-philatelic items. And vice versa. Philatelic items can therefore be quickly transferred to this category. And non-philatelic ones as well.

Therefore, it is preferable to add philatelic items first. And first take a look at what belongs with what.

I’m happy to brainstorm on that, but what direction are you thinking yourselves? It does need to fit within the structure of the 'Other' section, so no new fields.

To keep it simple, all involved items should be assigned the Theme = Philately. Existing items that already have Philately as a theme must be screened to determine if they indeed belong to it.

Next, you can organize items using the standard structure of Item + Kind + Series + Subseries.

so no new fields.

So no new Facsimile Object [philately] Collectioneur either? That is actually what this topic was about.

Collectioneur I was thinking of object because you see it immediately in the list, but actually Theme seems quite logical.

While going through the Themed Objects, I came across #11151801 against this is a stamp album (without stamps), but now has Poetry album as Object. What should that become (or Charles1971 ?)

To belong #11553531 and #11553529 not under Kaart [philately] (instead of just Kaart)?
I can even imagine that these actually belong in the "Postcards" section. In that section, there is also a "Philately" theme... (edit: see e.g. #10392087 )

Edit: and this card from Postcards seems to me more like Advertising that belongs under Other Philately: #11187169

I don't see a postmark Helv . That is why I placed this with the card. Or do you view a philatelic card differently? In my opinion, a philatelic card surely ought to have a postmark. A postal item, among other things, is of course a different story.

In my opinion, a philatelic card really should have a postmark.
I hadn't thought about it that way before, but that sounds reasonable in itself. But if it does fall under the Philately theme, it's also a bit strange.

Additionally, as I mentioned in the edit, there is also the Postcards section. It contains both blank and written/stamped cards.

Don't these kinds of cards belong in that section?

Thanks Collectioneur .

I have made a few minor adjustments to the translations. If there are users who disagree with this, please let me know.

Tough question Helv , I don't know. If it specifically concerns the 'unstamped' cards, then I think so too.

That one can indeed go to Collector's Albums .
The pages are pre-printed and the second photo shows instructions on how to place the stamps in the album, so there are plenty of reasons to consider this a collector's album.

Helv
Poetry album as Object

I have now changed that to a save album; due to the closed field, there is no option to leave this empty or add other items.

w1975 thanks for the adjustment!
I've just lost track for a moment, because I thought Collectioneur meant the Collector's Albums section. After his hint, I found more stamp albums there.

Item #11151801 is currently still in Other, with the item "Storage Album" as you wrote, or is that an intermediate step to be transferred "automatically"?

Charles1971 Is it correct that there are also Occasion Cards listed under Card [philately]? I see #11807143 , for example.
Occasion cards are normally also accepted in the Stamps section.

I see, for example, #11807143 .

The entry was made by a very experienced French user and avid collector Helv . This person has been with LD since 2015. This collector is currently also entering cards with first-day cancellations under Other. Rightly so, because under Stamps, first-day cards are reserved for the Huisman company.

If the ultimate goal is a philatelic section, then #11807143 no problem, right? Transferring takes a lot of time and effort.

Items such as #10731087 should actually be moved to Other as well. But as mentioned, let's just try to make a category out of it.

Following his hint, I found more stamp albums there.

I put the link directly to the stamp albums instead of the general page of the section, so you haven't lost track.

No, that is not an intermediate step to be transferred, but I assume that Collectioneur will transfer this to the Collectors' Albums section after my response.
