Hi guys...just came across these 2 tagging anomalies(so far).

Here is a envelope (U93) I have had for years...i have 2 of them and they both have the same tagging errors
.






Here is a 1993 envelope I have where the tagging on this stamp is very erratic...And they missed placed the cancellation.

I have this strip of 4 #2008 (2003) that has some weird anomalies:



There's some jaggedness down the left and right sides, a small blotch between stamp 1 & 2, and a major blotch on stamp 3.

No idea what it's worth. (and no, I can't get a better picture of it. This was hard enough with a regular camera & lens!)

Your 8-cent Centennial postal stationery has the normal tagging: one vertical line to the left of the indicia.

The rest are probably categorized as EFOs - errors, freaks and oddities. Might bring a slight premium from someone interested in such things.

For a while, I tried to gather all the "comet-tag" constant errors, but I gave up once I discovered the Caricatures and Landscapes issue...

Wert, I think you are not talking about the line to the left of the indicium, but the two 'scratches' ? Funny thing is, on your normal light scan I can see all three items!
Also, quality control on tagging is probably non-existent; presumably because it is not normally visible. I have a large collection of "tagging breaks" on US Transportation series coil stamps, and it is very hard to find two stamps exactly the same!
