I post this almost in humor considering I'll likely cry if my suspicions end up being correct. Lol

Found this Scott 807 in a pile I was searching that has a wide left margin and an extra line of color. Initially I figured it had some color from the print process but then realized the end without perfs was cut at an angle implying scissors. So if it was scissors that could imply that the color came from another adjoining stamp that would have made it a potential imperf pair 807b and a nice valuable addition to my collection. I did also notice a dot of color top left at a point where the vertical perfs would have logically been placed and wondered if that was used to position it correctly. No signs of any attempt to cut perfs. Comments? Did I "almost" have an 807b or just wishful thinking.

Did I do something wrong to have the boxes around my pics?? Don't remember ever having that on this board.

The dot is a layout dot which can often be found on 807a booklet panes in that position.
Your stamp is the middle left stamp from a slightly miscut booklet pane.
Here's a pane, more miscut and with several layout dots.

Actually,you cannot tell if this started as an 807B and then cut by the mailer. That said, it is extremely, unlikely that occurred. More likely getting hit by lightning, twice.

See: https://siegelauctions.com/power-se...SortOrder=-1

Which will note quantity known as well as most pairs involve a crease on the right stamp.

This old mind doesn't think very fast and I'm now wondering why a mailer would cut a stamp from a booklet like this. I've seen many cases where ppl were careful to salvage both halves and fit them together on the cover. Is the dot of color noted at the bottom of the left perf a clue to the source?

From my link above (Siegel PowerSearch):

Pair, 807b--


The following three are all of the same 807d pane, which can be broken into 807b but would not pass through optimizer as one image--





As above, but does it look familiar Butchie?

There are thousands of miscut presidential booklet panes still around. The reason is simple. This was war times production where paper and ink were essential for the war effort and hard to come by by the BEP. Hence anything even remotely resembling a booklet pane would pass quality control (if there even was one).

The chances someone mutilated a 807b (or even a 807d) are NIL against a stamp from a common miscut booklet pane.
