Estimate $35,000-45,000 This rarity was created during an attempt by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing to salvage waste from the end of the paper during rotary press printings. At the beginning or end of rotary press printings, there was some leading or trailing paper that was too short for either rolling into coil rolls, or for perforating for 400-subject sheets. In 1919, the Bureau devised a plan to salvage this waste by perforating and cutting the sheets into panes. These were put through the flat-plate perforating machine in use at the time, giving the stamps full perforations on all sides. View details and photo	Realized $77,625
