Yes, vignette shifts of all issues from all ocer the world are quite common, but some specialists do collect them, so they sometimes will fetch a small increase in value when selling to specialist collectors.
' Shifting (drifting) vignettes are a really good example of a non-linear effect: as the shift worsens, the price decreases until - POP Goes The Weasel - the stamp becomes an EFO (Error, Freak, Oddity) and the price increases.
Knowing zero about the market values of this particular stamp, I will nonetheless suggest that, once Dr Sun's chin hits the frame, EFO collectors will suddenly appear.
Sorry to be the buzz killer, but if this stamp is the Chung Hwa print unwatermarked, then it is printers waste that went out the back door of the printing plant. So noted in Scott. Any such 5 yuan imperfs with shifts, inverts, double prints, etc. are curios and nothing really more than that.
