Well I think that conflates two types of situations.

A typical misperforation (which I'd consider as any type of deviation from a standard perforation) - is the perforation shift. This scenario is fairly common and slices and dices stamps in every possible conceived way, effectively altering the placement of images on the stamp).

Unpunched examples

The blind perfs, albeit are new to me, I can understand the appeal. I'd label it as such in an album, and if I were to sell it, because I'd think it is worth celebrating it's real state, rather than concealing it as an imperf.

of course it could be Bill Langs bidding, and this stamp will be asking $1000 next week.

I suspect that those two examples will go forever without being sold. Blind perfs are much more common in older stamps, pre 1960. Soft paper and older perforators.

Blind perfs are defined in the SCF Glossary (upper left of every page) https://www.stampcommunity.org/dict...stamps_b.asp

At least you knew what it was and were willing to pay more because you liked it. There is no guarantee the others felt the same. They might well have been ripped off.

"No, there are 3 different bidders who may or may not KNOW that it has blind perfs and might think it is actually imperf between."

Seller does not say imperf and the images are good enough that you can see the blind perfs from both the front and the back.

No ther are not, they are shifted to the right a bit.
