Item Description

Detailed Analysis of Scott #236

Centering:
The stamp is quite off-center on two sides, with the edge of the design approaching the perforations. However, the frameline does not touch the perforations, and some white space is visible, though it is very narrow.
Centering Grade: Fine (70-74)

Soundness:
The stamp has a large thin and a pulled perf.
These issues are considered major faults according to the guidelines.
Soundness Grade: Major Fault (40-49)

Perforations:
The perforations are present and complete except for the pulled perf mentioned under soundness.

Eye Appeal:
Given the centering and soundness issues, the overall eye appeal is affected.
No additional points for eye appeal adjustment.

Final Numerical Grade:
Based on Guidelines:
Fine Centering + Major Fault Soundness = Fair/Good (20-29)
Final Eye Appeal Adjustment: No additional points deducted as the issues have been accounted for in the soundness and centering grades.
Final Grade: 29

Summary:
Centering: Fine (70-74)
Soundness: Major Fault (40-49)
Perforations: Pulled perf and a large thin.
Eye Appeal: Fair/Good
Final Numerical Grade: 29

This analysis reflects the condition of the stamp considering its centering, soundness, perforations, and eye appeal based on the provided images and guidelines.
