Phosphor band issues. Vertical phosphor bands are printed on the face of the stamp and are visible under UV radiation or at an oblique angle to a light source. They may be applied to the left, right and/or centre of the stamp. Only the fact that a stamp has phosphor bands is mentioned here. Some values occur with bands at left, right, centre or with two or three bands.
