The Fischer Catalogue lists three spoilage stamps: the 1532 MK (costing 20 gr), the 1534 MK (costing 60gr) with a description indicating the significant misplacement of the brown colour and the 1539 MK (7zl 10gr) which misses the brown colour completely.
Here are two uncatalogued spoilage stamps of the 1532 MK stamp (20gr) which display a significant misplacement of the purple and the blue colours and two uncatalogued spoilage stamps of the 1534 MK stamp (60gr) which display a significant misplacement of the green and the brown-reddish colour.
The 1532 and 1534 MK stamps which display the misplacement of the colours were printed on different printing sheets.
The stamps were printed in 4-sector layouts, each sector (sheet) consisting of 6 rows with 5 stamps each. Due to its rarity the spoilage stamps are still highly desired by some collectors. Some spoilage stamps used to accidentally get on the market and were sold through a philatelic subscription or at the post office.
