What Type Of Paper Could This Be?

I thought that this paper looked different to me.
When looking at the back of this stamp, it looked like
what I have seen described as laid or ribbed paper.

Would this stamp not have been issued after the laid paper
period ended. Any thoughts as to what it is or how it may have
come to look this way? I do have more of the same stamp that do not look like this. It appears to be MNH OG.

edit; You are able to feel the ridges.

It has to do with Stickney rotary press gum roller vertically and Stickney perforator gum breakers horizontally.

In Australia, circa 1970's-1980's we had very cheap Chinese Photo Albums,
called "Magnetic Photo Albums"
The pages had tiny lines of tacky gum, to adhere the Photo to the Album page

Some stamp collectors used these Albums to store stamps
and when they did they evidenced lines similar to yours.

I am not saying yours is thus, but some stamps with lines on the back
do come from this source.

My first thought too was damage from a Magic-stick photo album, but I agree with jogil, this is a normal production gum.

Thank you all for the information.

I do know that this stamp came out of my grandfathers album.
I have read about the type of pages rod222 spoke of that can
cause this look.

What I find odd is that I have looked at many stamps from this
issue and not seen this on others. I am certain that you are
correct, but I can not understand why it would not be more common
to see this being that it is part of a process. Just curious more than anything.

I know very little about US issues.
Just a FYI from my database.

Gum Breakers on Rotary Printings

Franklin O. Davis feels that the various types of gum breakers used
at the Bureau to keep stamps from rolling up after issue, are of
considerable interest and I agree, except that I haven't found the
time to keep up with them, beyond noting that there have been several
varieties used in the spacing of these breakers. He reports that he
recently acquired a block of the current 20¢ Special Delivery stamps
with breakers in both horizontal and vertical directions on the same
block. This is something unusual that I haven't seen and if
deliberate and not the result of accident, it means extra processing
work for the Bureau since the sheets must be put through the rollers
twice.
