• Two envelopes viewed from the back, with partial stamp impressions. The fronts of the envelopes are blank, with no stamp impressions.

• Two envelopes with overinking, or the ink too watery.

• The envelope on the left has an albino impression of the stamp image. The other envelope has a partial albino impression on the back. The front of this envelope has a normal stamp impression.

• Cover on the left has two albino partial impressions of the stamp image on the back. One is on the flap next to the image to the left. The second cover has a partial image at the top and a full albino impression at the bottom. Only part of it shows on the front. The rest of the image can be seen on the back of the envelope.

• Two envelopes with misplaced stamp images. The pink paper was used later for a short period of time when there was a shortage of the regular paper. The pink paper was basically used for the EXPRESS DELIVERY envelopes.

• Albino impression on the new sized envelopes on a slightly green paper. This image and the two that follow are out of proportion size-wise to the other images on the page. These are actually taller and shorter that the others.
