admin Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 === QUESTIONSI am a novice at attempting to use the Stamp Manage program, I like it but I have some questions about defining certain parts of the program.I have a fairly extensive Canadian collection that I have done nothing with for a number of years, I now have the time to spend on my collection. But I am confused about the definitions shown below. Is there someplace in the Stamp Manager that I can find these answers. I can make judgement calls but the listings do not seem to go from poor to best explanation.Where would I find the definitions of each of the following categories:1. Grading; A. The differences between F, VG, VF & XF, andB. What is FDC?2. Hinged;The differences between Hinged, Very Lightly, Lightly, & Heavily Hinged and Hinge Mark & Remnant?3. Centering;The differences between Poor, Average, Fine, Very Fine & Superb?4. Gum (Considering that all used stamps have no Gum);The differences in that all Canadian Stamps were "gummed" when sold or had "self adhesive" I cannot understand the need unless the stamp was RG.5. Cancel;What are the differences between an Average, Heavy or Light cancellation?I would appreciate if you could send me in the direction to get these queries answered.
