Here' s stamp tragedy that should never happen to such a nice group of stamps or any stamps but that sometimes does.
Take a look at these mint, OG Canadians from 1927, the complete issue for that year including the Scott E3 special delivery stamp in apparently pristine condition except that humidity has hopelessly stuck them together.Using a Stamplift box, a humidity based solution, only created a sticky mess as the stamps picked up the dissolving gum from the stamp stuck to the top of them.
Unfortunately, that meant soaking.
But as is always the case, it's worth doing. After all, what use would the stamps be if stuck together in a glassine envelope for several decades more?
After a stay in a Desert Magic II Drying Book which left them flat and wrinkle free, here they are (except for the E3 which went to another page) in one of my Scott Internationals.
