Folks: How do you guys handle not-quite-sheets? It drives me crazy to have a mint sheet with one stamp taken out! Should I treat it as 49 stamps or as a mint sheet (despite the missing stamp)  ? Do two half-sheets constitute a mint sheet? Obviously, this doesn't really matter, except maybe just to those of us who give voice to our obsessive tendencies in collecting! Micah |

Micah Just how I approach such things, (And everyone else, I'd suggest has a different approach) I treat everything from a "History / timeline / factual" bent. Example with your sheet missing 1 stamp, fine, just mount it, print info text as normal, with the obvious "missing 1 stamp" Just tell the truth. I have lots of album pages with "mutilated" stamps and ephemera. Part Booklet pages and so on. For me, it offers a "stress free" regime. If it drives you crazy, you then only have two solutions, bite the bullet and mount, or sell and try and find an entire sheet / pane Depending on the original print format, you may have 2-4 panes to a sheet This presents the mounting problem, only the selvedge will ID each pane. |
