The perfs look legit to me and the stamp displays very nicely. But as the listing states - it has a thin and disturbed gum. Without a picture of the back, you don't know the extent of the damage. In my opinion, this stamp is not worth the listing price. However, I have purchased from this seller in the past, and have been treated well, so I would recommend making an offer.

It's not that well centered, looks to have some toning and it's faulty.

I'd pass myself. Agreed that the seller is a good one, I have bought from him before as well.

This sold for $89... and is, IMO, a MUCH MUCH nicer copy:

Thank you both for your input... it's the large side borders which had me
drawn to this copy, and pricing seemed fair...

Just checked and found another nice copy... I put in an offer to the seller...
