I wrote that subject line with sarcasm, of course. We all know they are a big deal. I enjoy reading threads started by someone that is absolutely positive that they found one, only to be shot down...usually because they simply don't know how to use a perforation gauge.
What's I'd like to discuss here is...what's so special about this stamp? Can someone share with us the particulars about the perforations (I think it's 11 all sides), and the waste paper used to create them? How many of them are there actually out there? Is it a small number and they are all accounted for? Do we even know how many? Am I mistaken, or don't they all have a Kansas City precancel on them? I'd like us to take a moment here to maybe educate those who are less knowledgeable about this rare stamp.
