Hi All, I am organizing my collection of 1960 Olympic stamps. I have a few from Romania including stamps Mi. 1853-57 / Sc#1326A - 1330A, one perforated and one imperf.

The imperforated one has what I think are gutter strips.
Is that correct?(See photo). If so, does it detract from its collectability or enhance it? Maybe its rarity makes it more valuable or perhaps because its an error perhaps makes it not so interesting.

I look forward to our perspectives.

Looks like you can still buy these. I won't comment on what may be an error or printers waste....

I have to disappoint you - gutter strips are absolutely impossible in this set because the upper strip of 3 stamps and the lower strip of 2 stamps and 2 labels were printed in different sheet.

What you really have is a lower imperforate strip with a part of upper sheet margin with the set name that is overlaid on the upper strip - see a more vivid sample from Delcampe
