My New #116

I just bought this today. I am sort of obsessed with this issue.

I do know what you mean. When they look that good they are truly wonderful. Nice grab
Ron

Thank you Ron! The best part is that I have yet another one coming from an S.C.F. member that I won on the U.S. Pictorials auction too! There are some minor flaws but for what I gave for it I certainly can not complain! Over all I'm very thrilled!

Very well centered with nice margins.

Your stamp is a very nice example.
I have noticed that many of the stamps from this issue are off center.
When someone, such as yourself, finds one that is fine or extra fine, it gives us all a moment to reflect on the many stamps that we all have come across that we all have wished them to have had better centering, like your very nice #116.
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy this stamp with you.

That's a beaut for sure

That one might qualify for "Jumbo" margins! A great stamp.

May I ask what you think a fair value is on this. It is a sound stamp.

Cant wait for this puppy to arrive in my postal box! What's the current catalog value of these if I may ask?

When you get it take a good look at the cancel strike, there is something nice going on there but I can't make it out. I am curious is there is a design there - Great Stamp - jeff

I believe it's just some sort of a a geometric style or cross maybe cork cancel. Nothing too awful fancy. At least I don't believe it's considered a Fancy Cancel or anything. I got it for less than $50.00 so I really can't complain any!

So I get this in the mail today and the knucklehead puts a piece of corrugated cardboard in with it and it had a crease in it! I wrote and told him about it but I'm devastated about it! It's a nice bend but hopefully not a crease! jeesh...I'm sick about this.

I_Love_Stamps.
Number 1. I hope you like my packaging better LOL.
Number 2. If is just a slight bend you will most likely be able to iron it out. So all may not be lost.
One thing that gripes me is theses ebay bozo's that wrap everything in 50 lbs of tape and dare you to open up the package without destroying the stamp.
The best

Yeah I do like your packaging a lot better Ron! I got it today too! Thank you VERY much That made up for it. I looks like it's just a good bend and not creased so I think it can be saved. The seller gave me a 10% discount so I guess I'll have to suck it up and chalk it up too experience. My whole day sucked really really BAD otherwise! Just an awful day. you guys & gals make me happy though and cheer me up to boot. So thank you everyone.
