I'm not sure about that - its not something I've seen with previous editions I've worked with - possibly a previous collections stamp or inventory number? Since it's not on the front and doesn't diminish the value, it's not something to be overly concerned with.
Hello,
Could you please email me the references used for this appraisal.
Thank you
Hi Sam,
Apologies for the belated response; my comps weren't saved and I had to retrace my steps. We tend to value things more conservatively at Mearto since we can't see things in person.
