Spock that is ...what would you call it... when the stamp is peeled off and some of it's top remains on the envelope? the top section has thinned, and what you see above are little micro paper shreds. Is that very bad? |

Nic.....
Thin spots, even tiny ones, are not good and will reduce value.

oh I forgot if a stamp has thins thats ok from a collection perspective but if it has a disease then we are in trouble. just make sure the grey thing is not a disease |

Thanks spock! Nope it's just, the new word for me, "thins".
However...when I look at the stamp again, only now I notice that's a figure of a girl with wings? it looks like theres wings there, used a magnifying glass and still not sure.... ??? |

I'm not sure, but I think what you are seeing is 3 birds. One on each shoulder and one on HER left hand.
It is an allegory of Freedom. |
