In spite of having a scissors cut look down the left side, the valleys of the holes look so clean. Looking at the reverse really makes me think that there are some shenanigans going on here. Your thoughts anyone?

i agree, at minimum it has a pulled perf at top left making it a damaged item regardless of any
other issues.

Sorry, but I like to keep copies of the actual item for future reference.

Is the back a different stamp? The missing perf on upper left seems to have reappeared.

The cancel ink makes it appear that way.

I think the black postmark on the perfs, together with the black background, only gives the appearance of a pulled perf. In reality, the perf (covered in black ink) was always there.

All of that said, there is a completely missing perf at LR. Definitely also looks like the left side perfs were manipulated with a sharp instrument.

Shermae,

Yes you are correct I did not see the one of the LR.

I agree, cancel ink gives a false appearance, I agree with shermae.
