Hibernian #D314a, 2007 55c Butterwort self-adhesive booklet pane stamp, imperforate, horizontal pair on original backing paper of the booklet cover, showing the barest trace of the serrated knife which does not break the surface of the paper so renders them imperforate, the right stamp slightly buckled, probably from jamming in the perforation machine, which is what caused the error, otherwise very fine and the only recorded example; also includes an imperforate single used with partial Dublin c.d.s. and a 2004 48c Primrose & 48c Daisy se-tenant horizontal pair from the 2007 reprint without the phosphor frames on original booklet cover from the fourth row (Hibernian #D312-13a), with light wrinkles in the backing board not affecting the stamps; a rare group of errors from these modern definitives; each accompanied by 2015 Roy Hamilton-Bowen certificate.
