1906 Scott 41 45h brown red "Bazaar at Sarajevo" & Scott 45 5k dull blue "Emperor Franz Josef"

While putting in the 1906 stamp issue into the main album today, I noticed some nine stamps in the series in one of my feeder albums with deliberate puncture holes applied. One of them also had a "crayon" line cancel (illustrated above). Are these remainders, or is there a more interesting story? Are they "collectable"?

BTW, I found a number of alternative and compound perforations for this stamp issue besides the Scott major number 12 1/2 perf in my feeder albums. Pays to check perfs on these stamps as the CV was higher.

It appears they are some sort of remainders. Here is a link:
