United States, Scott #5729 used(o), 2022, ‘Snow Beauty’ Winter Flowers Set, issued in two panel booklets, with guillotine cut imperforated edges, of 20 stamps of ten different flowers designs, stamp shows a group of Crocusses; one of the most popular flowers found in the garden in late winter and early spring; they are low growing plants that stem from underground corms; they have been known throughout recorded history, mainly as a source of saffron, which are the dried stigma of the ‘crocus sativus’, which is used as a cooking spice and a dyestuff; issued as a forever stamp at an individual counter value of (60¢), serpentine die cut simulated perforations: 11, issued with non-water soluble gum on self-adhesive panes, stamp is from the top left corner position on the front pane in the booklet, perforated bottom, and right, imperforated at the top and left, the only stamp of the twenty so configured; offset lithography printed by Ashton Potter USA (APU), multicolored, Scott 2025 catalog value: 40¢. Nicely centered (superb), horizontal, black-inked, wavy line cancellation over the front of the stamp, good perforations; the stamp was lifted from its mailing envelope by use of the Bestine solvent and placed on a piece of black card stock for an attractive and uniform album appearance; centering, mounting, and scarce perforation alignment 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.
