DeVere Card Detailed "Closer/Wider" Segments & Corners Gap Analyses:

This analysis is extremely granular and not to be confused with the more general Left/Right Sides and 4 Corners Gap analysis sections above.

FOR STAMPS WITH INNER LINES -

For stamps WITH inner lines, DeVere Card analyzed the spacing at 8 specific position segments around the frame lines. Positions 1-4 are on the left side of the stamp (from top to bottom), and positions 5-8 are on the right side of the stamp (from top to bottom). Use your judgment to select choices from the 8 dropdowns to reflect the relative gap spacing of the inner and outer lines at each of those segment areas. You do not have to choose every segment, but widest and closest are the most important choices.

FOR STAMPS WITHOUT INNER LINES -

For stamps WITHOUT inner lines, DeVere Card analyzed the spacing at the 4 corners of the stamp where the frame lines meet the diamond blocks. Use your judgment to select choices from the 4 dropdowns to reflect the relative gap spacing between the frame lines and diamond blocks at each corner. You do not have to choose every corner, but widest and closest are the most important choices.
