FOR THE RECORD ----If you every wonder about a yellow stain or tinting on modern India stamps ,this is not over the complete stamp but on areas it is due to the folders that the Department of Posts INDIA used in the 1980's . These were presentation folders that are green and white . There is a chemical reaction that stain the stamps, if left in the folder too long .

It is not a good sign if postal administrations put these stamps in unusable folders! I hope it is not too expensive a stamp.

If only You can see in what are official Croatian post philately shop putting stamps for the collectors? You wouldn"t belive. Some stamps are bended and they sell it as MNH condition. When You buy stamps there they dont put it in philatelistic card, they put it in prospects
