Is this even a stamp, because I can't be sure from the pic. It could be a book or picture frame. It does kind of look like a picture frame.

Now I know it's a stamp, but come on man. This is one time where you go back and do it again.

On a side note...I really hate it when sellers stick their stamp in the wrong category. Pet peeve of mine.

I saw that as well.

Rings every alarm bell possible. That pic couldn't be worse if it was taken from the back...

I'm assuming tape stain and clipped bottom edge, at a minimum.

It's nice to see a forthright, honest seller. "100% positive feedback"

The Seller does mention that it is "hinged".

Bet hes hiding a major fault on the left side of the stamp. I would avoid buying from any seller 100% or not who cannot produce a clear pic in todays stoneage.

Even with the incredibly poor image, it's obviously not a revenue. It drives me crazy to have sellers clog up the revenue category with stamps that don't belong there.

If you look at this seller's other posts, it is clear that this seller is not good at photographing stamps. For example:

Maybe they put the wife's glasses on and went to scanning and listing--very scary.

Don't know what to think after looking at the seller's pics. Perhaps there is a basic misunderstanding of how to use a mobile phone as a camera, combined with a vision problem.

Obviously, editing is out of the question with these pics.
