USA APC Errors - "Missing Design"  These stamps SHOULD have been #CVP89 (green Reindeer Holiday APC), which is what the APC machine was set to at the time (just after the 2013 holidays into the early part of 2014)!  However , the USPS clerks inserted the "plain labels with the red stripe" instead, and did NOT change the machine settings; therefore, the machine printed out just the barcode, serial # and "FOREVER", leaving the right side unprinted (as that is normally where the pre-printed reindeer design was at!). In this case, this same error happened at two different machines (both here in the north Dallas, TX area).    At one machine, they were using the labels with the earlier "matte" red stripe, on the other machine, with the newer "glossy" red stripe.  See the 2nd scan of the photo that shows the difference in appearance (although when scanning these, they both take on a pinkish shade due to the scanner light). The Scott catalog does NOT differentiate between the two different label types.   These particular labels were normally used to print the following stamps:   - Matte red-stripe labels were used first (April 2012 to end of 2013 and occasionally early 2014), generally with Scott# CVP85, CVP85B, CVP86, CVP88A - Glossy red-stripe labels were used starting sometime starting in 2013 through early 2014), and mostly with Scott# CVP88A The red striped labels (matte & glossy) were eventually replaced by "clear stripe" labels around March 2014 but then saw little use as the shift was away from plain unprinted white labels to those with pre-printed color designs. WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE: So here for your specialized collecting pleasure are 2 different red-stripe labels with both matte & glossy versions (from 2 different machines): 1) The "glossy stripe" label version is from January 01, 2014 (Machine #B231, zip code 75080) 2) The "matte stripe" label version is from January 22, 2014 (Machine #B728, zip code 75023) There is a slight difference in appearance between the glossy and matte stripes:  The glossy red stripe appears to be more red, while the matte stripe is a bit more on the pink side. Also included are 2 "FOLD HERE" versions postage labels, one for each of the two machines B231 & B728, bought at the same time as the small postage labels.  The small & FOLD HERE stamps each have the machine number in common (which is the first 4 characters of the serial number that is sideways on each stamp), BUT also show the date in regular format AND the respective zip code for each machine: 1) Machine #B231 = zip code 75023 (Plano, TX) 2) Machine #B728 = zip code 75080 (Richardson, TX) I have 2 identical lots available, the scan shows one of them.  All are mint on original backing paper (as dispensed by the machines). --> As a bonus:  each lot comes with a full sheet of 10 unprinted glossy-red stripe labels (see 3rd image)! The price is reasonable   considering that these are ERRORS and are obviously no longer available at the machines!   The quantity of these available in the marketplace is very limited (I don't think any other ebay sellers have these and I'm the only one that has them to my knowledge, and certainly not with matching FOLD HERE postage labels on the same day of purchase as the errors). Shipping only via tracked mail as per ebay guidelines.   Foreign shipments are at your risk.
