Great Grandfather's US Stamp Collection

"since it was sold as is with faults, but it does mean I'll be looking for another 243 with a town cds!"

The cert doesn't mention faults, or is the fake cancel what Kelleher was calling a fault?

The 35 & 292 would look good in my collection.

Don't understand why they gave the 208 an "XQ" as I find the cancel somewhat detracting.

The stamp had a perf thin on the bottom frame. I was expecting that and a possible repeforated side to be mentioned. The fake cds is the surprising part as I don't believe that is what the lot description was noting when it said 'small faults'. I am unsure if PF doesn't note other faults if the stamp has something fraudulent done to it. Also note that this stamp was acquired in January 2025 so I am way out the window to get a cert for it for returning it. I am totally ok with this and this is not a disparagement nor criticism of Kelleher.

I am a bit surprised too that the 208 got an XQ, I just noticed the centering and stamp color were good.
