2004 23c Distinguished Americans: Wilma Rudolph, Imperforate Error

Scarce Imperforate Error Pair Can Be Yours!

Imperforate stamps are generally associated with early stamp production or the new modern-day imperforates (produced from 2012 onward).  However, imperforates found in the time between these two eras were often created as the result of errors in the printing process.  Sometimes a sheet would accidentally be printed without perforations, resulting in a limited number of imperforate stamps sold to the public before the Post Office realized their mistake.  These accidental imperfs are especially desirable to collectors as they are rare and often difficult to find.

With their rarity, imperforate errors can be the target of people who alter genuine stamps to appear as more valuable varieties.  With imperforates, the best way to make sure your errors are genuine is to buy them as a pair.  Then, it's easy to see the missing perforations between the two stamps are genuine.  That's exactly the opportunity you can take advantage of today.  But hurry, we only have a small number available!
