Why Do Some Stamps Have Small Flaws?
Stamps are fragile and often show their age.  Stamps from 1940 back to the first U.S. stamps are 80 to 175 years old.  They may have had a long journey from the place where they were issued so long ago.

What Small Flaws Do These Stamps Have?
Common flaws include a small tear, no gum, thinning (due to a hinge being removed), straight edge, or small stain.  Some flaws can be seen only on the back of the stamp.

These small flaws don’t detract from the beauty and collectability of old and historic stamps.  Virtually every collection, even the greatest ones, likely has some stamps with small flaws.
