• Pane of sixteen stamps with the top row being horizontally imperforate at the margin. A stamp collector in Barisal purchased a sheet of the stamps with the top row imperforate, from the post office. After he sold the sheet, and it was broken up into single copies, he later appeared with a second sheet. Evidently collectors were led to believe when he sold the first sheet that it was the only one in existence. With the appearance of the second sheet, collectors were less interested as they thought he might have more, and people were afraid to pay a high price for them. The second sheet was sold and no others have appeared on the market. It is now believed that only the two sheets exist. That means that there are only 20 stamps that exist with the top perforation missing.
