the set on this cover is one of my favorites and when I saw it on cover for around $4.00 I promptly bid on it...when it arrived I was kind of disappointed that the brown stamp had a flaw on it..like a perf had become stuck to the front of the stamp...i think I am going to have to accept it and live with it..i don't see much point in letting the seller know..it would have been a lot better perfect of course..speaking with serious Guatemala cover collectors they say that with older covers damage goes with the territory..by the way the cover is a balloon flight !!

I've got some Turkish covers with small flaws in them. Although I'm a perfectionist when it comes to stamps in my collection, I've noticed that I'm a bit more lenient towards things on cover. Some of those
flaws could be chalked up to usage and/or age I guess.
