The NSP&M printings of the Wildlife definitives exhibit a wide variety of paper fluorescences, none of which are listed in either Gibbons or Scott. Generally most all are on some form of fluorescent paper, which generally varies from medium fluorescent (MF) to hibrite (HB). The gum is generally all dextrine, but there are differences in the amount of surface sheen, with some stamps showing gum that has an eggshell sheen, and some having a glossy sheen.
