I received the ones I'd purchased from the stamp cave today, and while the method of printing is neat, the centering sucks. All examples I have are centered far to the left.
Anyone receive any yet with better centering?

Every pane that I have seen is shifted to the left, some extremely so, others more moderately. I have not seen a really well-centered stamp yet. |

Panes without die cutting exist. Some were sold at StampShow in Columbus last week.

I received my first order of 20 yesterday. Five were reasonably well centered, but the rest, while fairly good right to left were far out of line top and bottom with the bottom perfs nearly touching the image. I have a second order due in later this week, so will see if they are any better. |

Mine seemed alright. Will probably order more. Out of 15, half seemed well centered. The others, yes to the left. |

I just received my items & both the sheet & s/s were perfectly centered & die-cut. (I'm thinking the SFS is doing a secondary quality product check before mailing out these items now) |

Thanks for updating this thread. Guess I'll give it another shot. It's not like it's an expensive item, eh?  |

On the other SCF, a jsnoyes reported that "Noticed if you hold the sheets on a horizontal axis and swivel them a few degrees up and down the three rabbits appear and disappear in a separate sequence from each other, ie: one is fully out of the hat, one is half way out and the third has fully disappeared. Maybe just my old eyes, but I tried on several different sheets."
I got just 2 of them (both well centered) and found that I seem to have 2 stamps that are about the same and one that is different, but which stamp was different was not the same on my 2 panes (one one it was the center stamp. on the other it was the left stamp). I wonder if this is intentional and would correspond to different press sheet positions, or if it is unintended and just a poorly controlled manufacturing variable?

These are now Available from Maurice Bessette, Postmaster Oneco CT 06373. Seems they didn't sell as many as they wanted at the show, and now any postmaster can order & sell them. I have a few on eBay, seller stamps.1a   |

Spray on cancels easily wipe off these stamps, giving fresh meaning to the term Forever stamps. Yes, there's the pesky adhesive, but the "wipe new" aspect is interesting. |

Presumably the timing variance in the rabbit's emergence from the hat is intentional, which suggests each of the 3 stamps of the souvenir sheet deserves its own Scott number letter suffix. However given an individual stamp, I don't know how one would definitively ID it to the proper suffix. |

The sequence would only be noticed if the sheet was intact. Separating the stamp as individuals one would not be able to discern what position (right, middle, left) the stamp came from, thus a single SC# assignment is appropriate rather than a SC# primary and a sub-case alpha designation for sheet position. The movement feature would still be noticed but the position undeterminable. |
