I purchased these a while ago and I'm happy with purchase I'm just wondering how much the imperfections in the #136 one cent would effect it's grade.
All three pairs are MNH the two and three cent are really nice pairs the one cent looks like the right side was torn apart rather then cut and the top edge was cut in two tries with a small misalignment. (top of left stamp).
Would either of these imperfections be detrimental to the grade or value?

Cheers, Bill

I am not a "condition guru" at all, but I would be very happy with these in my Canadian collection. They look very fine/superb to me. Nice stamps.
Canada and provinces wonderful way to collect quality stamps.

Given that a punter could make a further marginal trim his/herself, hard to see that trivial rough edges would make a difference. And isn't four good margins the thing - I thought only Yanks graded stamps?

Nice stamps. I notice the hairline (or possibly a partly removed guideline)on the left of the bottom 2.

They look great - very nicely centred for these pairs - better than the set in my collection.

Thanks to all for your replies.
As I said I'm pleased with these stamps and I was only wondering if such minor imperfections would perhaps change it from EF stamp to VF stamp.
It seems most believe it matters little.

Gilles le timbre, yes there are hairlines in several places it was discussed in this thread.

There's also one hairline running between the Two three cent stamps.
Neither are mentioned in the 2020 Unitrade specialized Cat.

Cheers, Bill
