Could you take a pic of the table of contents for both volumes? I'm interested in seeing how much they expanded the 2016 edition, if any.
For those of you wondering why I'm asking, the English version of the Germany Specialized does not match the German language edition. Large sections were left out in the first edition of the English-language version that came out in 2007/2009. For example, the English version of Volume 1 did not include German States (Baden, Bavaria...), and Volume 2 did not included DDR (East Germany) nor Deutsche Bundespost (West Germany). Basically, the first edition English-language was roughly 50% of the content of the German language versions.

Maybe it took the editors that long to find someone who could translate the German name Baden into its English equivalent. LOL

Actually, they’re still looking; there is still no Alt Deutschland, and Vol. 2 does not have what it didn’t before.

But you do get a separate folder showing all of he watermarks. Surely, that counts for something.

Oh, that watermark folder is very nice!!! I knew that had them with the German-language specialized, but that's the first time I've seen an English-language version of the watermark folder! Thanks for posting that!

Here are scans of the watermark folder you can download for your own reference.

Perhaps someone a little more digital-savvy can explain to me why the two scans can have equal pixel dimensions, but one shows up smaller both on the board and when you click throught to seemystamps.
Hovering over the download button on seemystamps, they both show the same dimensions, so you should get full size images when you download.

I haven't figured out why your 2 images are being reduced by ProBoards in one post but not the other. Your BBCode is identical. Guess they are just out to get you today. Did that lady from your old high school follow you here?
Also, you are actually currently posting the card images from ibb, not SMS.

Yeah, i wanted to ease the storage burden on seemystamps.

I checked your raw jpg file off ibb. The first pic is actually taller by 1 pixel, but that shouldn't make a difference. What is more likely is that the file sizes are different due to compression. First file is 9.81MB and second is 5.94MB. Maybe the larger filesize of the first pic triggered a different display protocol with ProBoards and it displayed maxscreen with a "Click to view full size" message.
Either way, that's as far as I'm going to look into it. There are other more important things for me to delve into, like just how many holes were there really in Blackburn, and would they really have been sufficient to fill Albert Hall?
