1.to ti je kad kupish seriju poshtanskih markica u poshti a neko ti trazi celu seriju da bude ponishtena ,ti onda zamolish poshtanskog sluzbenika da je ispechatira a da ta serija nije bila uopshte zalepljena na pismo - nije putovala,josh uvek ima besprekornu gumu/lepak/ na poledjini ,besprekorna je ,nema tragova koji bi ukazivali da je bila na pismu...
to se deshava zato shto je nekada jako teshko pronaci neke markice iz serije da su putovale da li zbog malog tiraza ili zato shto su zbog velike frankaturne vrednosti sluzile samo za placanje poshtarine ka inostranstvu i onda je logichno da se nisu mogle naci u nashoj zemlji nalepljene na pismu..i lakshe je bilo da ih poshtar ispechatira nego da molish rodjake iz inostranstva da ih tamo traze...
to se u stvari zove usluzno zigosanje..
2.isto tako neke drzave /narochito Sheikati/ kada shtampaju markice odmah oshtampaju i zig na markici i iz aviona se vidi da to nije pravi poshtanski zig vec nacrtan....
u novije vreme kataloshke cene poshtanskih markica bilo ponishtenih bilo neponishtenih su potpuno izjednachene/osim ako su celine/tako da vishe nije vazno da neka markica bude ponishtena...
mislim da sam dao odgovor na Vashe pitanje a ako sam neshto propustio neko ce me vec dopuniti.
Mnogi filatelisti /a i ja medju njima /ne vole usluzno zigosane markice narochito ako je markica npr oshtampana 1980 god a pechat na njoj iz 2009 godine iz zemlje koja je nekoliko puta menjala svoje ime i nikako ta markica nije mogla biti na pismu kao sredstvo placanja poshtarine 2009...pogadjate radi se o Jugoslovenskoj markici koju sam dobio u razmeni od jednog stranca a on je pak dobio od nekog nasheg prevejanka koji ga je ubedio da je ta markica putovala...
uostalom evo teksta sa wikipedije shta je to CTO
A cancelled to order (also called CTOs) postage stamp is a stamp the issuing postal service has canceled (marked as used) before selling it to a stamp collector or dealer. Postal services of various countries do this in response to collector demand, or to preclude stamps issued for the collector market being used on mail.
Some of the history of CTOs is from stamps being given to collectors on an "approval" basis, in person or through mailings; the first CTOs began in the late 1800s.
While some collectors value mint postage stamps, others prefer to collect stamps that have been used. In practice, it is slow and difficult to build a comprehensive collection by removing stamps from mailed envelopes, so modern postal administrations accommodate collectors by offering new stamps already canceled. The advantage for collectors is that the stamps count as officially used without being subjected to the stress of actually going through the mail. Also, the postal service can arrange a relatively light and unobtrusive cancellation mark.
Collectors work with postal clerks to practice another, more informal form of cancellation to order. In this "favor cancellation," or "hand-back," a collector gives the stamped envelope to a clerk, who cancels the stamp and hands the envelope back to the collector. Some countries' postal regulations permit this and others forbid it. It is misleading because the canceled envelope appears to have gone through the mails though it has not. For instance, it is missing additional postal markings typically applied to real mail.
A shadier practice related to CTOs involves deliberate misuse of cancellation devices to make a stamp appear used. This typically happens for stamps from remote places, or that were in use for only short periods. Used stamps are generally more valuable than unused, sometimes by an order of magnitude. This form of philatelic forgery may involve use of rare types of canceling devices, unusual dates in postmarks, and so forth.
Another form of CTO is especially common in countries that try to make money from collectors by issuing large numbers of decorative stamps. To make more sales, the stamps must be inexpensive, but if the issuing postal service prices them below face value, commercial mailers could use them to save money by routing their mail through the issuing country, financially hurting the issuer. So, these countries issue most of their collector stamps as CTOs. It is easy to recognize such stamps. The cancellation is neat, usually in one corner without a town name, and the gum is still present.
Some countries, such as the emirates that later joined the United Arab Emirates, went further and printed the cancellation directly onto the stamp with the rest of the design. Many collectors do not consider these authentic stamps, and some catalogs categorize them separately.
