Is This A Booklet Pane With A Cracked Plate?

Is this a booklet pane? On lower right looks like a cracked plate, but im not sure.

What are we supposed to be looking at?

Across from right hand two lower leafs have lines going threw them.

I can't see it

What they are telling you is your scan is too small to see anything...Can you zoom in on the affected part only and post it..?

Or a close up on a good cell phone.

Yes im sorry my scanner is not letting me scan past 300. But I will try too. My New Years Resolution Trough out old scanner buy one that works lol

Richar, I think this is a regular sheet stamp. The red line is a guide line where the large sheet has been cut into four smaller panes.
Also, I believe a plate crack would show up as a dark, inked line. Your lines in the lower right hand leaf look like maybe some pieces of paper on the plate - kept the press from printing in that spot

Peter4522 Thank you.

richar after seeing your other pic of your stamp I see what Petert4522 is explaining to you and he has a good point as if it was a crack it would be darker in color as ink would had poured into it and would had been darker.

Yes one wight line and two smaller dark lines in the leaves.Does this look to be a booklet pane. How would I determine the difference. The outer red line looks to be almost torn and matches the booklet panes from Seigals senses.Would the size be different? Thank You for the help

here are two 300s with cracked plates just under the 2 from 1902 at the tops, All covers from a post master generals collection from wwII

On the original 2 cent red stamp you ask:


Yes. The method of making an overlay template from a proven sheet stamp has already been shown to you in another of your threads.

The image is still too low-resolution to see any detail of any possible flaws.

The 1 cent booklet pair does not show "cracked plates". This is a "relief break", i.e. a flaw on the transfer roll, which transferred to many positions on many plates. See Loran French's "Encyclopedia of Plate Varieties on U.S. Bureau-Printed Postage Stamps", page 32.

P.S. Have you purchased a Scott U.S. Specialized catalog yet?

You can find more information on these relief breaks in Max Johl's Volume 1 The United States Postage Stamps of the 20th Century on pages 38 and 39. Available on StampSmarter. Go to Library, launch United States Stamps, and scroll down to Johl, Vol 1, click download.

John its in the mail. The template is a good ideas Thank you, And You too Littleriverphil

Richar - You are asking $999 for the 300 pair?
