And the condition is stated as "minty fresh". Man you could not make this up if you tried. Real life!

I believe the top one has a large natural "plate crack". .

I can't imagine what they would weigh, but $20 ship is way off, in my opinion.

Well, if you are someone looking for these this would be a great chance to pick them up with little competition; I doubt this will sell as listed. I thought of messaging the seller. Then I'd probably need to explain what a plate block is to a non-collector. I wonder if ebay just plopped this into the stamp category based on the description.

If I were to try and "plate" these, I guess the top one would be position 1, while the next one beneath it would be plate position 2 ...

Maybe the one standing up represents the "centerline".

I wonder if these come "watermarked" or "unwatermarked"?
