I'll bite.

One if it is really common. Up to four if it is less common. A rare/scarce or something unique then there are no limits to the faults.

Too many variables to give a pat answer of 1, 2, 3, 4....etc

Including - but not limited to - severity of the fault.

Also, every individual's opinion can vary.

Every stamp is a placeholder until I find a better one

re: How Many Faults make a Space Filler?

Here is a quote from Michael Roberts in the most recent catalogue of Mexican Revenue stamps:

It is important to note that the standards for revenue
stamps differ from that for postage stamps. Revenue stamps
are priced primarily by the items rarity. Condition is less
important, though a factor. The value is in the face value
and the particular type of usage.

So why the recent obsession over revenue stamp condition and 'space fillers'. Is Mr. Roberts incorrect?

This is correct regarding ALL revenue stamps.

I'm sure J. Barefoot would agree as well.

re: How Many Faults make a Space Filler?

I certainly found that to be true also for revenue stamps of France, Indochina, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Many are difficult to find and highly collectable in any condition!
