Used stamps exchanges.

"Hinging marks" are not a reason for downgrading (for me :)).
Until the 1950s there was no other possibilty to stick your stamps in an album.
Have a look at NL-2622.
What is your opinion?

There is nothing left to be added.
Thanks a lot stamp79!!!

I send stamps all the time with hinge remnants. If they are that great a problem then just soak them off. I also receive many stamps with hinges still attached. Doesn't bother me at all as long as the stamp is sound with no faults. I sometimes overlook a damaged stamp as most times I get 100+ stamps. Plus you have in most cases a nice stamp on the envelope. I have sent and received over 100 lots and I have yet to give less than a 5 and I have received only one 4. the rest have been 5. Unless the rules are grossly ignored, then I think some collectors should lighten up a bit. Remember guys/gals, it's supposed to be a fun hobby. Smile and happy collecting.

On stamped stamps, the back of the stamp does not play the role. The back of the stamp is important for pure stamps (MNH - sign ** or MH - sign *). Mint Nerver Hinged or Mint Hinged

В таком случае отправитель сам мог бы погрузить почтовые марки в воду!почему он этого не сделал?

(remnants of) hinges are no damages, so no reason do give less stars. Ofcourse it would be different if someone has torn them off roughly and there's a thin left. A stamp with a thin is damaged alright. But with neat hinges, not very nice to give less than 5. All you need is a quick dip in hot water and the hinge has gone if you don't like it in your stampbook.
