I have these 2 booklet panes that are quite different. My 2013 Scott Specialized Catalog lists and describes the pane with the bright white paper and this note underneath: peelable paper inscribed in light blue. This other has cream colored paper and a different back. It is quite different in appearance yet the catalog makes no mention. Does anyone know what this cream paper one is? Thanks for any help! ccndd Chris

That is correct, there are two different varieties for that booklet that were not listed by Scott (I haven't checked the most recent Scott catalogs). I actually learned this from my friendly philatelic clerk, who pointed it out to me when I was buying one for my collection. He would spent time looking through his stock for "unusual" things and point them out to collectors who came to his window.
Then they closed down the philatelic window and transferred him to the back.
I have to go check, but for some reason I recall there were actually 3 different varieties; but I may have remembered incorrectly. Hopefully I can find that page that holds them...

Scott (2015 US Specialized) lists two varieties of this booklet. One with prephosphored coated paper with surface tagging showing a solid appearance. The other booklet similar, but shows overall tagging.

Yes, those are the 3 different varieties I mentioned. Two of them differ by tagging, and two of them differ by backing paper. But I don't remember how the different tagging and different backing paper were paired.
Apparently I removed all my self-adhesive panes from my Supersafe mint sheet album one day when I was reorganizing the layout. Unfortunately I'm not sure what shoebox I put them in, so I still can't find them at the moment. I'll post a picture of all 3 varieties here when I do.

I'm glad to know I am not the only one who suffers from this.

So Ted,
You have piqued my curiosity to the breaking point. I must now ask you is the "Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-Ekki-PTANG. Zoom-Boing. Z'nourrwringmm" to allow passage through the woods?
If the answer is yes, I thank you good knight- and I urge the rest of our members to seek if they so desire.
Funny fellow.
Best,
Dan C.

Toning can also cause paper discoloration.
However, for that issue, if you use a filtered short-wavelength UV lamp, you may likely find the "cream" colored issue is actually the tagged version of the stamp. The early taggants used on the non-airmail stamps did tend to discolor easily.
