12:42:49pm | This is probably a silly thing to post and a complete waste of bandwidth, but this cover I received yesterday caught my fancy. At first glance I saw 2 pairs of 6c flag definitives inartfully joined at the perfs. Then I looked again and felt for the seam with my fingers, and not finding it, had to get my magnifier to prove to myself that this was, indeed, a complete plate block, which appears to be joined pairs only by a coincidental pair of cancels. Looks kind of cool!
Scan 1 - entire cover
Scan 2 - stamps only
Scan 3 - plate block only

That's a good one! They couldn't have done that if they had tried.
