Nice color shift. Do you know if color shifts were common on this issue?

Its the only colour shift I have seen on this issue - probably why I paid a bit for it. I know what will happen, tomorrow someone will offer a whole sheet at half the price

Beesee I agree! I cant wait to get it. It is coming from South Africa so probably wont see it till the new year (I'm off on holiday for a month soon)

Ummm a good price - that depends on what a good price is. I think I got a good deal on it, bidding jumped quite a bit in the last 5 minutes, It is one of those never see again items. It is the waiting that is killing me, I have just started ordering stamps directly from South Africa as the material available is better.

3D glasses ! My housemate is a 3D Video editor, I will ask her opinion on the stamp.
