For all you Canadian experts out there, how do you determine if a QEII Cameo straight edge single is from a booklet or a pane? I have the Unitrade catalogue and I can't for the life of me find a way to differentiate between the 2. Thanks in advance.

It may have to do with the direction of the paper grain since Cameo mini panes tend to have the paper grain in the horizontal direction while Cameo booklet panes tend to have the paper grain in the vertical direction. (This is the opposite of most other stamps since the Cameos were printed wider and shorter rather than narrower and taller like other small size definitive stamps.)

The booklet singles will have a razor sharp straight edge. The straight edge on the pane will not be.

Thank you for the help. I will look at the paper grain for proper classification.
