Hello all, my first real post, so hope I get it right.
This is probably a very common low value issue, which may work to my advantage insofar as most members will have an example, or two, so chances are good that quite a few can be viewed to help resolve my question, which is ………...
The attached pix show a top right corner block of four, plus a single stamp, and it's this singleton that I've had for a while, with the block arriving in the mail yesterday. Making a quick comparison shows a difference in positioning of the entire cluster of oranges - the single stamp showing a slight shift upwards and quite noticeably to the left. I think the Gibbons catalogue is saying this value is a Waterlow recess printing, but there isn't any comment as to this feature being a noted variety or error.
Anyone know if this shifting of the cluster is a well known feature, or more likely a common event - thanks for looking.
cheers
