Hi guys..Take a look at my two Scott 44's...Left one normal border, right one big border..Got any bigger out there (even on any stamp)

This stamp on the right is 16.5% bigger than the normal stamp on the left.

Any theories as to how the super jumbo came about? Don't see much evidence of adjacent stamps in the perfs.

To the OP's 8c stamp, I've definitely seen, on some early US stamps, where the top and bottom row stamps, have, on occasion, gotten perforated like this. I would speculate, based upon what I can see of the 8c queen here, that it is likely a bottom row stamp.

Here are a few jumbo small queens of each denomination.

The second 6¢ may not be a jumbo, but it is possibly the best centered copy of a particular variety. (and the 2nd ½¢ has a nice reentry).

Enjoy.
Chip

hornet - that jumbo attached to narrow stamps example is really interesting. It appears that the vertical perforations for that column were incorrectly set. What I have seen in the past is where, essentially, the horizontal perforations for either the top or bottom row were incorrectly set - above the top or below the bottom.

Chipg, thanks for posting Scott/Unitrade 43c, the 5c on 6c major re-entry. That is definitely one I would like to find and add to my collection some day.

Hello txstamp,

Your are right. Here an example of what you wrote about.

Bavarian, Pfennigzeit Wappen (comb perf) 1889-1911 with the top horizontal row not correctly set.

Best regards

Sylvain

Here are a few I found that I haven't mounted yet. And below are amazing ones that I have in my 3c SQ Collection. I have been meaning to get these out to scan and this thread finally pushed me to do this. Looks like I have to clean some oxidation off these. And one more 5c Registered Letter Stamp I got recently.
