Note:
(1)

Minor separations in multiples and sheets are to be expected in older issues; a few open perfs do not adversely affect value and do not constitute reason for return.
 
(2)

Gum line and light gum creases are normal characteristics of U.S. flat plate issues; these will be described only when unusually pronounced.
