Item Description

Condition: Mint never hinged

Grade: Ungraded
ATTENTION: PLATE NUMBER COLLECTORS!Here is your chance to get a unique item, a Scott 807a full booklet pane with part of the plate number showing. It takes a unique set of circumstances for this to happen. These stamps were printed on rotary plates with multiple plates on the rotary printer. Normally this number is not visible when the pane's edges are cut. However, if the pane is mis-cut, some of this plate number would appear. So to get a visible plate number, you must have both a mis-cut pane and one on of the small percentage of panes that feature the line pair.This particular issue is Scott 807a, the 3c Thomas Jefferson booklet pane, a full booklet pane with the tab intact. The plate number is 22436, identified using the Durland Standard Plate Number Catalog.A final note: In order for the plate number to be visible, the pane must be significantly mis-cut, so centering by necessity will be be significantly off-centered. Booklet panes with visible plate numbers are often considered EFO issues, Errors, Freaks or Oddities because of the significant mis-cutting. They can't be graded in the normal way of F, F/VF, VF, etc. All booklet panes offered are listed as ungraded and imaged so the buyer can identify the plate number and see the level of the mis-cut. I combine shipping on multiple purchases made within a 3-day period. Please allow me to send you an invoice with the shipping charge.
