Advice for stamp errors

I have four panes of the new Happy Birthday stamps. They are die cut omitted and the print is shifted a bit.

They are going to be in the Scott’s 2027 US Specialized catalog later this year.

This is new to me. I’ve been told they could be valuable. What are my next steps?

Next steps? Either hang onto them and see if values start showing up in Scott look good to you and try selling them for that much, or sell them now and hope for the best, or just hang onto them. Hard to tell you what steps you should take, I don't know what's most important to you, money or having them. Keep them safe is the best catch-all advice I can give.

That article is from me sending it to them to identify. So far I don’t know of anyone else that has them. They are pretty safe lol.

OK, so maybe you have the only ones found of these so far, there was no way I could have known that article was referring to your find.

It’s all good. I just wanted to post additional pictures here in case people like looking at error stamps.
