Could be

#552 perf 11,
#578 perf 11x10
#581 perf 10
#594 perf 11, 19 3/4mm x 22 1/4mm Probably Not~!VERY, VERY, RARE!

Trying to guess perfs from a photo on the monitor is not the best, so you will need a perf gauge to determine the right one. I left out #596 due to the cancel. Hope I didn't miss any other. I suspect #578

ok so

i checked for this perf's

#552 perf 11,
#578 perf 11x10
#581 perf 10
#594 perf 11,

and so far I have 6 - 11,10 so I guess that means it is 578

what is the perf for 596 I have about 300 more to check. all of the same

The top and bottom perf should be 11 and the sides perfs should be 10 for #578.
The number is the number of perforations per 2 cm, and it is easiest to match with a perf gauge.

#596 is perf 11 all around. It is a slightly different size of design area ( not whole stamp) of 19 1/4 mm x 22 1/2 mm. The large majority was precanceled "Kansas City,Mo". It is extremely rare and usually sold at auction for over 75,000. But it is always nice to hope!

i must have looked at the first 100 stamps. I have mostly a perf of 11 x 10 1/2 so I guess that is the 632 but I do have 3 that are 11 x 10 and found 1 that is
11 x 11 I believe the 11x10 is the 578 and not sure on the 11x11 I will have to take to the the store and have the guy check it for me. could be a 552. what was the price for the 552. when I am home tonight I will scan it on the perf gauge. and post
