Browsing through the latest Polish Stamps Catalogue (Fischer, 2015) I have noticed that no error regarding FI 3535 stamp had been duly noted. The stamp in question was issued in 2001 to celebrate Salesians of Don Bosco Games. A few years ago I noticed a bright spot on one of competitor’s no. 14 palm. Repetitive error occurs on stamp no. 8, sheet sector no. 4, bottom right. Since then I have seen a dozen of stamp sheets from the same sector and the repetitive error was always present. In the picture attached below you can notice the stamp sheet with a stamp error marked. You can also find a comparison of a competitor’s no. 14 palm with (on the right) and without the error.
