It's not a particularly expensive set of 9 stamps, but one I rarely see offered in either MNH or NH. I recent purchased a MNH set for 41$ and got probably what I paid for. The gum not only has mild 'crackalure' but is uneven & slightly toned. If any members have further information about this pre-WW-II set (1935) e.g. Is this condition usual, or particularly is it just D**n difficult to find w/ better quality gum, etc.? (Or...... is this as good as it gets?) Kindly advise & Thanks, Harry
