41. Paper folds: A paper fold normally involves a comer of a pane that has been inadvertently folded under or over. They can be minor, involving only a bit of margin, or major with many stamps involved. If the fold goes through printing or perforating, the results can be spectacular, with printing gaps and "crazy perfs" resulting. Prices of such material can reach several hundred dollars for visually interesting multiples.


Type 41: A simple fold between vertical perforating and horizontal perforating created this example of "crazy perfs" (Scott 499).


Type 41: This complex fold took place before both horizontal and vertical perforating, and the paper actually folded twice (Scott 499).


Type 41: This piece of 2¢ Adams (Scott 806) printer's waste was torn, folded and "chewed up" as it was inserted for perforating, creating what is known as "crazy" perforations.
