The sheets were then gummed, perforated in one direction only, and cut in the other direction into twenty strips consisting of twenty stamps apiece. Strips would subsequently be pasted together to produce coils of 500 or 1000 stamps. At each join, the paper from the end of one strip would overlap the beginning of the next (the overlap is termed a "paste-up tab"). A pair of stamps that straddles the join is known as a paste-up pair. Very simply ... We are liquidating an estate from a long-time collector and exhibitor. This collector specialized in a single united states issue, the washington-franklin series. With an estate comprised of 745 stamps, this collector was a 'go to expert' on the washington-franklin's. The notes we discovered in his collection covered everything from color variations, natural paper inclusions, and typing examples. Apparently he was very generous sending his reference samples to other exhibitors and dealers. Even months after his passing, his wife was still receiving these stamps back in the mail. We are truly pleased to be able to offer this estate. We have posted the exact scan of the front and back of the actual stamp.
