If you mean is it soakable then the answer is yes.

I soaked that one off an envelope, no problem.
I find that Austrian stamps come off the paper
quite quickly when immersed in water.
Within 5 minutes for the most part.

Only ones that are even easier are Czechoslovakian
stamps.
Perhaps there was a shortage of gum.

Here is a close up of the meteorite dust.

They printed 600,000 souvenir sheets which makes
me wonder how much of the 42 pounds was ground up into
dust?



Somehow it reminds me of lobster.

This not lobster. That's crab.

I stand corrected. Crab it is then.
Should have known since I had King crab
at the Mandarin a couple of times.

I was actually thinking more about the similarity
of the colour.
