Love the pair of vampire bites on the bottom right lol! So not only are the perfs not punched through, but you just have a random pair out of nowhere as well. Go home perforating machine, you're drunk!

Oh my, I remember when those came out. I made my own FDCs, must be worth all of, oh well, never mind.

From what I see on the pic the perfs are a bit more interesting at a second glance. The main perfs appear to be from the gummed side, but the 'vampire bites' seem to be from the face side

Good observation, you're absolutely right. I wonder why just two as opposed to an entire row.

To me, it looks like the chads are still attached to the stamp on one side and folded over onto the face of the stamp.
