hello, I found this stamp looking through some old envelopes. The top and the right side it peforated. Is it worth anything or is it just some freaky stamp.

Hi 'speedy'

This stamp may be from a Stamp booklet and worth only to be replaced by one without such a 'killer' wavey cancel and on a complete cover.

NO collection should have 'killer' stamps and need only be a sample to be replaced soonest. Even when rare it should be kept with the thought of finding a better specimen.

Killer cancels and toning is the scourge of philately.
