Signature Collections

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I started collecting signatures of Canadian bank notes a couple of years ago going back to and including 1937.  Just wondering how popular this type of collection might be and if any precedents have been set with regard to the value of complete sets of any or all series assuming bank notes are all graded at, let's say, EF to UNC.

Your experience, opinions and wisdom would b appreciated.

Signatures are a great way to collect .... try to obtain every signature combination for every denomination in a series. Birds and Journey are probably the most readily available. The '37 Osbournes are by far the toughest in high grade.  The 1971 $10's have five different signature combinations, which I believe is the maximum # of variations for any denomination. The great advantage to signature collections is that any example is fine ... no need to chase prefixes, radars, replacements etc.

Thanks for the note Rusty.  Sorry for the delay in responding.   I take it you are a signature collector?  How far back have you gone?   Have you bothered with the higher denominations - kinda gets expensive wouldn't you say.    Any particular series that you have completed in all denominations?  Any sense of the popularity of signature collections out there?    Any idea of the value of a top notch signature collection in any given series?

Best regards,
Reginald

Just bought a BC-1a in UNC63 today to add to my signature collection. If I can only live another 200 years I can complete it

Here is your answer....have someone continue your collection when you pass away and when they find a cure to bring you back your collection may be complete
