Single Jenny Press Sheet Contains 6 Varieties

So I am a bit obsessed with the US/Canada border thing on the Jenny sheet. All the single packets I have seen (my own 6 and the 20+ bought by my friends) have the border sliced off. So I ordered a press sheet (with die cuts) and voila, just like the imperf press sheet, the 3 panes in the top row are all missing the border, but the bottom 3 panes all have the border intact. Furthermore, the top and bottom panes have exactly the same height.

It seems to get a Jenny pane with border, you must get it from the press sheet.

Now the new discovery: the panes in the left and right columns have a width of 5.2", but the panes in the middle column have a width of 5.4". The extra 0.2" allows these panes to show more image content on their sides. What's more interesting, even though the left and right column panes have the same width, their image content is positioned differently. The right column panes show more content on the left side, and the left column panes show more content on the right side.

I compare this perf press sheet to the imperf press sheet, and they are exactly the same.

The bottom line is that each pane in a press sheet, whether perf or imperf, is different from the other five. You literally end up with 6 varieties in a single press sheet.

Having read the various posts about the variations in trimming, smudging, print bleed, missed ink transfer and so on, I am beginning to think that this stamp issue may set some sort of record for havng the sloppiest production and print quality of any stamp ever printed. On that alone it might just be worth buying one stamp just to have a piece of this.
