ERROR BOOKLETS
This is one of my favourite areas. You never know what mistakes will be made when making a booklet. There could be an error of make-up, something wrong with the stamps such as missing phosphor or imperforate varieties & typographical errors. I will be adding a number of Prestige booklet errors in the coming weeks. If you lose patience, email me and I will get back to you as soon as I can
