Prior to offering these booklets for sale to several dealers, I'm asking if you know of any others in existence, which could affect my asking prices for complete or separated booklets.
My description is:
In July 2016, the Secretary of The Barrie District Stamp Club, Chapter 73 of the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada, emailed members stating that the Barrie Post Office found three thirty stamp booklets from a box of fifty that were misperforated. The Post Office had returned them to
Canada Post before any could be sold to customers or collectors. He asked if anyone else had found or knew of any.
In August, I purchased three thirty stamp booklets out of a
Canada Post box of fifty booklets. These three booklets had been offset perforated vertically just 0.50 mm, but also offset perforated horizontally. The horizontal perforations differ on all three of the booklets, being 3.75 mm, 4.00 mm and 4.50 mm higher than normal. The tagging is correct on all stamps.
Additionally, all of the vertical perforations on all three of the booklets are slightly offset to the right.
I've added golden lines to one panel on each booklet to better show the actual perforation locations, which occur on all three panels of the respective booklet. The bottom of each golden horizontal line is immediately above the top tips of the horizontal perforations. The vertical golden lines follow the middle of the perforations.
