Item Description

Grade: VF (Very Fine)
1947 Philippines More Better Philately Souvenir Sheet featuring Manuel Quezon. Scott # 515, Michel # BL1. This one is MNH and features a very distinct blanket offset of the green ink.

Here is the definition borrowed from the EFO Collector's Club website:
"14. One or more colors leading to the completion of a stamp is fully offset on the reverse of the stamp by the blanket roller: Compared to a stamp that has part of a design on the back in reverse due to two stamps sticking to one another and then being pulled apart, this error is a smooth, even impression well-centered on the back. Sheets from a stack were drawn into the press one at a time. If the mechanism failed to draw a sheet into the press, the inked plate would apply the design on the blanket roller, the function of which was to maintain a consistent pressure from behind the sheet so its face would pick up a constant impression from the plate. The next sheet through the press got not only the proper print on the front but an attractive print in reverse on the back."

Should be a nice addition to your Philippine or EFO collection.
