It was just misperforated.
hello angore. would this happen to the entire sheet that would of been printed, and would this happen at the start of the printing process, if so how did they get into gene ral circulation, did they not do quality control.as i live in the uk this came a long way thanks for the responce ken.
1. The whole sheet (50 stamps) would be mis-perforated.
2. Errors like this slip through quality control. I would guess it was backwards when put through perforator. The perforations were done after printing.
but this also looks as if it were being prepared for a booklet pane
If I remember right the only time a miss perf is of any significant value is when either the name of the country or the stamps denomination is not on the stamp. I used to collect these blips for Canada years ago but gave it up when I started looking for incredibly insignificant differences. These are called freaks as opposed to errors and judging from what is said in the front of my Unitrade Canada Specialized your perforation shift would probably have a book value of about $20 (give or take).
