United States, Scott #3052, used(o) booklet stamp, 1999, Flora and Fauna Definitive Series, stamp shows a Coral Pink Rose; 33 cents, photogravure printed by the American Packaging Corporation, perforation variety from those catalog listed, stamp has a serpentine die cut simulated perforation: 11¾x11¼ and not 11½x11¼ as listed, stamp is from an internal lower row position in the booklet, imperforated bottom, perforated at sides and top {PPIP}, issued with non-water soluble self-adhesive, pink, green and black, Scott 2019 Catalog Value: 25¢, nicely centered, large, light, broken-up and hollowed-out, red-inked, single rimmed quarter circular, socked-on-the-nose corner cancellation with some mailing details at the upper left and extending over the main image, however, the lightness of the cancel and its broken-up and hollowed-out effects leave the main image largely clear, good perforations, stamp was removed from its mailing envelope using the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock to provide a uniform and attractive album appearance; centering, mounting, perforation variety, and largely image clear cancel 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 $US1.55 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 $US0.68 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. If not satisfied, return the stamp to me at your own expense, and I will refund the cost, but not my postage to you. If the stamp is not as described, I will refund the cost and reimburse you for postage both ways.
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.
