1982 US State Birds & Flowers
I just obtained a pack with a sheet of the 50 stamps in perfect condition.
While the stamps are unused, there is no gum on any of them. Were they issued like this and if so why ?

It sounds like some sheets were stored together and got stuck to each other, so the owner decided to soak them apart, thus losing the gum. Blair

...or the collector was displaying good husbandry
by washing nasty gum from his stamps . "Blair (TC)" On Oct 19, 7:45 pm, "Golden Oar" wrote: I just obtained a pack with a sheet of the 50 stamps in perfect condition.

Thanks guys. I could not think of any logical reason the USPS would issue
them that way. How I wish they were imperforate ! "Golden Oar" wrote in message ... I just obtained a pack with a sheet of the 50 stamps in perfect condition. While the stamps are unused, there is no gum on any of them. Were they issued like this and if so why ?
