How Do These Imperforate Stamps Compare?

There has been much discussion on here about large multiples of imperforate stamps being cut down to just one perfectly centered stamp with parts of the eight neighboring stamps being destroyed. How do these imperforate stamps compare?

They look wonderful, to me... my only question would be if you watermark tested all of them for 408 and 481 ?

383 has Franklin portrait, not George???

They appear to be 481

I like that they have wide margins but don't show parts of the neighboring stamps. I know some people like their modern imperfs super jumbo, but I find they look better your way. It is the cutting up of scarce multiples that is evil.

I personally like any type of multiple stamps such as blocks etc. I find beauty in every stamp, probably makes me weird. So when you ask I have to say fantastic. Of course I favor the ones with the selvage. When I have a choice I always go for the selvage.

As far as splitting or in this case cutting I fully support the owners right to do what they want with their property. Who am I to tell you what is right or wrong. However if it was me no way do I separate stamps.

I bought these flat plate arrow line blocks as they are some time ago. If they were as a full sheet, I wouldn't have broken them down and I would have kept them as an intact full sheet. I liked them because of the intact arrow guide lines which are usually mostly found as cut straight edges on most regularly perforated stamps. It appears that these imperforate sheets were not broken down into post office panes. It is too bad that many of these imperforate multiples are being destroyed in making one very well centered single stamp.

Here is a cover.
