Belgian kiss die-cut variation not at present in the OCB

The OCB - the offical Belgian stamp dealers catalogue - produced evey year is a big source of information for the collectors of Belgian stamps. No doubt about it!

But just as any other catalogue maker they turn out a bit wary of adding the results of recent research on modern stamps. Which is a pity since these modern stamps can be easily found now and be bought mint for just face value.

In this thread I will show you the variation I have noticed so far.

The great advantage of the internet is that new publications can be made at hardly any costs and will be accesible for everybody that is surifing the web.

Articles in printed magazines may have a larger readership at first, but after a while, the magazine got stuck somewhere in the attic and subsequently be given away for recycling with the rest of our daily papers, women's magazines etc..
