In this threat I like to show some classic tete-beche stamps which are usually very rare and desirable.
I like to start with Persia, Iran, of the 1876 (July), vertical sheetlets of 4 ssue.
A Tete-beche pair of 2 stamps with the nomination 2 Shahi, clichés C and B wíth cliché B upside down. From the 2 Shahi stamps two different settings exist, the first one has been printed with one tete-beche pair (clichés B and C in the middle of the sheet of 4 with cliché C upside down) while setting 2 has been printed with 2 tete-beche pairs. Clichés A and D as the top 2 stamps with cliché A upside down and clichés C and B as the lower two stamps in the sheet with cliché B upside down. Out of the cliché allocation the shown tete-beche pair could be from either setting, however, the size of the sheet margins indicate the pair in fact is from setting 2.
