For what it's worth, I agree with Ryan. The stamp really is not
"unmounted" ... doesn't change the fact that the stamp is actually
worse than "no gum" because the gum may damage the stamp. Soaking off
the gum increases the odds that the stamp will retain at least the
"fifth or less of mounted" value.


I agree also, for what it's worth, but I believe Tony agrees that
regummed stamps are not nh.
