Question
i have a sheet of .39 cent DC comics super hero stamps that were cut wrong. On some of them if you went to use the stamp only the 3 would show, the 9 would be cut off. i have been told there is a possibility that this is worth money, can you give me some idea?
Thank you
Answer
April,
Yes, you could possibly have something of decent value. Miscut errors such as you describe are sought by Error, Freak and Oddity (EFO) collectors. The market for error stamps, however, is highly speculative. In general, the more dramatic the error, the more an EFO collector is willing to pay to get it.
I recommend you contact Harmer-Schau Auction Galleries for an opinion. A public stamp auction should be seriously considered if you decide to sell, because both dealers and collectors bid for the same stamps. Contact Chris Harmer or Kurt Schau at:

You could mention that Mark Leon referred you.
Good luck!
