It is some time since anybody reported an error on a Prestige Stamp Book and most of those were duplicated or missing pages.
This time it is a mis-cut, causing two stamps to be damaged, from the X-Men book. This is a scan on a white background of a photocopy so apologies for the quality.
The bottom row of stamps has been cut through, almost reaching the barcode and trimming off the lower perforations. The white line at the top is where the cut should have been. As the rest of the pages in the booklet were normal, this is a case of sheet of definitive panes being misaligned downwards.

UPDATE 29 November 2023 From the MBPC website:
Mark Botting has now purchased the book containing this error, and it has been discovered that the rest
of the book is also mis-severed.
Very poor quality control at the printers.
ReplyDeleteIs the reason known for the month delay with a PSB last year ?
Royal Mail is buying ad space in the national press to promote these stamps (not the PSBs) some weeks after issue. Wonder why…?
