Although in 2021, I'm guessing such yesteryear catcalling isn't considered socially acceptable... but when the target is a stamp, who cares!
Saw this one pop up on ebay at just under half cat, and while it's a relatively common stamp (CV = $14), the size and centering of these margins certainly isn't common.
Actually, that's not readily apparent under a loupe. Looks to be something on the surface rather than a crease. However, there is a 0.5mm perf tear at lower right (between 2nd and 3rd perf on bottom margin).
I had no intentions of trying to get it graded; it just makes for a gorgeous album spot filler.
It's a nice stamp, especially for a lower value first issue, but it wouldn't grade all that high anyway. It's centered to the top and to the right. Another stamp proving the silliness of grading.
