Used stamps exchanges.

In the letter are just 100 stamps. From these 12 have damages and also 8 definitives.

Just an opinion. The 12 damaged stamps should by all means lower the rating but the 8 defs should not as they are well within the rules and they are not damaged. The US stamps above are really nice looking stamps. I would have given maybe a 3 but not a 2. As I said it's just my opinion. Happy trading/stamping. I see we have traded both ways and we both gave each other a 5.

I am sure in every sending will be some damaged stamps, even if a collector takes care. That is the reason why I always send 105-110 stamps. This would be a tip for other collectors, that if you send only 100 stamps, there is a risk for less then 5 stars.

You gave me 1 because 7 of my stamps were damaged. Can you show on US-1889 how 7 of my stamps are damaged based on the above photo?

Roland: It is not fair to ask 105-110 stamps. I´m sure that you will be able to find damaged stamp in ANY lot of 100 used stamps, will not? On the other hand I agree that at least 8 of the showed stamps from this lot are really damaged.

I do not ask for 105-110 stamps. I ask for 100 stamps in undamaged condition. The fact that I send 105-110 is my insurance for the receiver that he get's at least 100 perfect stamps.
