Item Description

United States, Scott #5824, used(o), 2023, Contemporary Christmas Issue, Theme: Winter Wonderland Animals; a booklet set of four stamp designs picturing a deer, rabbit, owl, and fox, in the snowy habitats they call home during the winter; this third stamp of the set shows a stylized Christmas Owl sitting on an Evergreen Branch in a Quarter Moon Night Time Setting; issued as a forever stamp in a booklet of 20 stamps each at an individual counter value of (66 cents), serpentine die cut simulated perforations at scale: 11, non-water soluble self adhesive gum, offset lithography printed, by the Banknote Corporation of America (BCA), phosphorus tagged paper, stamp is one the three internal, bottom row, booklet stamps one of the two panes, imperforated at bottom, perforations at the top, left, and right, the only three of the 20 stamps in the booklet so configured, issue date of 2023 in black dot, vertical security microprint at the top right corner, multicolored, Scott 2025 Catalog Value: 30¢, nicely centered, considering the issue date location (superb) which is very good for a booklet stamp as most are very off-centered, horizontal, black-inked, wavy line cancellation over the upper two-thirds of the stamp, good perforations, stamp has been lifted from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance with other stamps from the period similarly mounted; centering and mounting warrants a selling price premium. This is not a 'bait-and-switch;' the stamp you see will be the one you receive.

Please review my terms of sale. If you are not ordering from the United States, there is a $US1.65 additional postage expense that needs to be added to the price of the stamp. If you are ordering from the United States, there is only a $US0.73 added postage expense. Also, if you make additional purchases from my offerings, they can all go in one mailing at no extra shipping expense for the added purchases. I will send the purchase by US first class mail, since the relatively low value of the stamp does not warrant signature or tracking mail. Hence the buyer assumes risk of loss or non-delivery. I will keep a scan of my mailing to verify that the correct mailing address was used.

By way of reference, I am an American Philatelic Society member (195176) and an American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) member. Thank you for looking, and I hope this is the perfect stamp to fill that gap in your collection.
