VAMWorld 2.0

Creepy! Broken star narrows the field a lot; fortunately not something rare… maybe 135

Not CAC worthy; maybe needs a - added to grade

62; don’t like the black stuff or the obv mark below the chin; i.e., no eye appeal; as this is a common as dirt V33, I wouldn’t want this as part of my set!

How did this one fly so low under the radar, especially when such a high interest specialty set? I don’t remember much (any?) fanfare about its discovery in 2019. No discoverer listed on on the page on this site. Curious…

OK, I see it’s now VAM 135; now the SSDC registry set(s) need to be tweaked (35A now 135). So what’s the story with this one?
