What is "Very Good" about a stamp that has perfs cutting into the design? Some issues you can only find decent stamps like this. They would be considered VF. XF is free of the margin and commands a premium. Nah ... they're AVERAGE! Fine is just clear of the design, VF is well centered. The rest is 'sales garbage'. Harumph!

Frankly I'd love to see a 'dual' grade ... letters A, F, VF, S for physical condition, then a "-1" to "-5" for centering. E.G.: A sound stamp with clean full perfs, no efects, but slightly off center ... VF-3 -or- a stamp with small faults but perfect centering ... A-5 OK, now that makes more sense then trying to combine 2 different grade words together. Tracy Barber Could this be the start of a new standard grading system? Sounds like a workable system to me!
