Whats the big deal? They have a cert for a block of four and are showing a mint never single--red flags, bells and whistles come to my mind--um block of 4 cert and a pic of a MNH--hum
what were you thinking? the perfs are slanted maybe?

Thanks Newby... right side looked funny to me at first and I was thinking about bidding. I didn't think it matched up to cert when I first looked at it. I missed my chance to bid, regardless Thanks for your opinion.

The cert shows a block of four with an arrow pointing to which single is up for sale, not an uncommon thing to do. The perfs appear ok.

The right perfs were internal to the block. It's possible someone cleaned them up a bit.

Perfs look OK, but maybe I'm too suspicious, but I'd question whether the stamp came from the block in the first place. If the stamp is supposed to be the LL member of the block, then it has a longish perf along the bottom (3rd from right) that isn't evident in the block. Also, the LL stamp in the block seems to have a shortish perf along the left side (sixth from top) that isn't evident in the single stamp.

The perfs in both bottom corners match up, and the scan of the cert is not perfectly flat, so that might change the way some of the perfs along the bottom appear.

I agree with Dudley. After examining the perfs of a blown-up copy of the cert side-by-side with the one for sale it does not appear to have come from that block at all!

from PF website:



I just can't match up the stamp to the one pointed in the block (left lower per seller). Bottom right corner of this stamp doesn't match up correctly and centering is off a little compared to cert pic. Perhaps I'm too suspicious. I think right side was reperforated or perf added.

Going crazy

I think someone improved the perfs, but it did come from that block.

I agree that the stamp does not come from the block. Not sure about the perfs. Some could be improved which is pretty common.

I will be the contrarian here and say I believe the single stamp did come from the LL position of the block. I see no evidence to contradict that conclusion.
