I got this block quite a few years back and I have a repair question. The first three stamps in the top row belong to the block - of this I am certain. Is there anything the experts can do to reattach them (they were being help on with a hinge on the back).
Also with the back picture you can see there are a couple of other small hinge marks. I love this block and hate to break it up, but I don't know what to do about the three unattached or the hinge remnants on the back? Do I just live with it?? I notice some of you out there have screamer collections and your knowledge base is huge, hopefully someone has a good idea. Thanks - Jeff

It would be an easy decision for me ....

It's your collection - if you like it, keep it the way it is. When you put it in an album, you'll only see the front of the stamps anyway.

On the other hand, if you can't bear to look at it without obsessing about the back and the repair, break it up and make yourself a block of 4. Or get rid of the whole thing and find yourself another pristine block of 15.

As for me, I would leave it as is and mount it on a page by itself and enjoy it.

I agree with Kirk. If I were selling it, I would be tenpted separate the MNH block of four and end up with 4 pairs and 2 singles besides.
