Another "surprise" issue from Canada Post, which received its own Details magazine:

Stamp launch was held the night before the issue.

I purchased a number of booklets today that are all identically either misprinted or mis-perforated, or perhaps both - I can't determine which.

Comments are invited and appreciated.

Here's three comparison scans of the exact same far left se-tenant stamps in one of the booklets.

The tagging scan is slightly off-centred due to hand-holding the camera to photograph it.

The far left pair shows in reverse colouration, the correct positioning of the stamps overlaid over the actual stamps. This seems to indicate that the stamp image is larger than the area within the four-sided perforations.

The middle pair shows the actual stamps with the perforations visible.

The far right pair shows the photographed tagging where the top stamp is missing the top margin tagging completely.

The green rectangular lines indicate the edges of the actual perforations.

The red horizontal line indicates that the word "Canada" is correctly positioned on all three images and printed separately from the rest of the image, which is higher than it should be.

The gold lines at the top and bottom indicates the actual edges of the booklet.

Does anyone else have any misprinted or mis-perforated?

Not impressed with the design of this stamp....another great effort from Canada Post to distance itself from the philatelists.....
