Sorry, Tom, I can't even tell what I'm looking at here. What is it
that you want me to see as an inversion that has gum in it? I see gum
in the numbers, but the numbers *should* be made of gum. Then I see
what looks like hardened gum pleating itself up into itself to float
off the non-number areas of both prints, and underneath that, I see
pigment stain, a general coat of it on the left strip and a general
coat with a darker swath on the right tablet. But I don't see any
inversion behaving like gum, and I see no silvery sheen, I see only
stain acting like stain. I wish you lived next door so we could run
back and forth and show each other the actual thing. If you'd direct
me to the part you want me to notice, maybe I could be a better
witness of what you're seeing.
