Yeah, those were hard to find. I don't care about gum but I care about centring and appeal. I find that I have had to lower my standards to F-VF instead of VF centering due to price, but sometimes I see stamps at auction that are F-VF but look pretty good to me, which is what matters.
I am lucky that I don't care about the back of the stamp because then the prices would really get crazy. I only draw the line with the back if the hinge is so heavy, you can see it from the front or it has really degraded the entire stamp. Other than that, I don't care.
