It shouldn't be this difficult. I am working on filling in spaces and upgrading my Israel album and needed one of these sheets. The problem is I keep getting damaged ones from dealers. It is a large sheet, easily damaged, I realize this. But today I received my third one in the mail from an Ebay seller who used a padded insert to protect it without placing the sheet in cardboard, the sheet looks embossed with a quilt pattern. I got another last week that arrived with a messed up corner from bad packaging. I bought one as part of a large order from a specialist dealer. That arrived ok but was torn by me when I tried to extract it from a glassine he used that was too tight.

I am now on my second attempt to get an adjustment from an Ebay seller. I did not contact the first dealer, that was my fault. I have noticed this sheet at shows and a lot of them seem to have issues.

Just ranting. It's getting to be almost funny...

re: Israel 187A, My Search for an Undamaged Sheet

Bad luck! I looked to see if I might have a duplicate, but alas. I've had pretty decent luck with filling out my Israel collection, although getting good MNH examples with full tabs has been a challenge at times. I just completed the years 1950-'54 over the past couple of weeks, all without incident. Hang in there you'll make it.
