Scott #1889a (1880-1889) Booklet Pane with PLATE JOIN LINE [1981 18c American Wildlife set of ten] NH with XF centering -- which is quite unusual for this issue -- with bold vertical line in the left margin which I believe to be a plate join line (the same type of line resulting in coil line pairs). Without binding tab. I have not found this feature mentioned in the catalogs, but I have just suggested to the Scott editors that they consider adding at least a footnote in the catalog, if not a priced listing! A very interesting and little-known variety.

Scott #2041 "UNFINISHED BRIDGE" SHORT TRANSFER variety [1983 20c Brooklyn Bridge] NH XF Upper Left Plate Block #1 with variety in upper right stamp. This Scott-listed major plate variety (an error when making the plate) is clearly illustrated in the catalog though they do not assign sub-numbers to such items. Only exists from plate position 2 of upper left panes (i.e. only upper right stamp of upper left plate blocks), thus theoretically 1 out of 200 stamps has the variety, but it is rarely offered. Only plate numbers 1, 4, 5, 6 exist. Wonderful example. Undervalued in Scott.

2216-9 [1986 22 cent AMERIPEX 86 Presidents Souvenir Sheet Set] Used VF set of four Sheets of 9 stamps each, containing a total of 36 different stamps), with very neat hand cancellations. This is from "controlled mail". This item was used to pay the postage on a large package; in this case protected during mailing in a plastic pouch, and then returned to us by the recipient. This did provide postal service and is postally used. Such nice used examples are hard to find. The Scott 2025 Used value is $16 for the set, but it seems that most sets on the market have been soaked off FDCs and have not actually been used for postage (as this set has been).
