CORNERS. BADLY DISTURBED --- Is that a new term for missing corners.
I'd only use it as a place holder until I had a nice one. |

It doesn't seem worth it to me, either. But yet another case of people who will pay for less than desirable specimens if they want it bad enough.
Actually, for a final auction price of $6.69 as a "space filler", some may find it worthwhile, given that it's only about 1% of a used example in VF condition which is worth $600 or so according to the 2011 Scott catalog. The disappointing thing about it is that a severely damaged specimen as shown will probably never be worth more than a few dollars, if that, whereas a used example in VF condition has been steadily increasing in value as it was worth $425 in 2002 and now has jumped to $600 in 2011, which is more than a 40% increase over the past 9 years. |

Thank the stamp gods there was free shipping. Once again a piece of junk that should be lost to the ages not handed down to the next generation. |

What kind of human being would do that to such a beautiful stamp? Looks like a poor space filler waiting on a reasonable space filler. I'd prefer just having the black and white picture in the album looking at me rather than that wreck. |

that can't even be considered filler. there's not enough there to fill any thing. |
