Kebaya Stamp Sheet - Two Types

If you are into stamp sheet collecting, you may need to pay attention to the two types of Kebaya stamp sheets due to the perforation patterns (see images below). It looks like these perforation patterns exist in the 50s stamp sheets only, not the 30s stamp sheets.

Malaysia Stamp Sheet Again

The below stamp sheets on flowers issued in 2002 are truly gorgeous. I just couldn't resist not to show you these beauties, could I?

Still on Stamp Sheets

Stamp sheets are always beautiful, and collecting them is surely not cheap. A visitor "Money Talk" to my blog commented that financial factor is the hindrance for collecting stamp sheets. Well, she/he takes the word out of my mouth, and I do not need to elaborate any longer. The beauty of stamp sheets, however, sometimes could be too much for collectors to resist. By just looking at the two stamp sheets below depicting the trains issued in 2002, many collectors could be drooling.... hehehehe

Perforation Variety - Waterlilies 2002

The occurrence of perforation varieties in modern Malaysian stamps is tremendously frequent. I'm going to depict one weird perforation variety in the miniature sheet (MS) of waterlilies (aquatic plant issue) released on May 11, 2002. I bought a few copies of this MS during the time of release. A few years later, I played with the MS to find perforation and watermark varieties. To my surprise, these waterlily MS have weird perforation varieties (two types). The difference in perforation occurs on the horizontal perforation of the RM2 stamp in the MS. Both the varieties have P12 perforation for the RM2 stamp. At a closer look, however, one MS has slightly larger size of RM2 stamp than the other one resulting from the additional one pin hole on the larger one. The smaller RM2 has 25 pin holes on the horizontal perforation whereas the larger one has 26. I'm not sure which one is less common. Anyway, I'm delighted to be informed which one you posses.
