Starting in late 1986 or early 1987 labels with anti-peel slits cut into the edges came into use. All stamps from the other locations were printed only on labels with anti-peel slits. The Vienna stamps without the anti-peel slits are relatively scarce. Nearly all these Intermec Postage Due stamps available are mint tapes sold to collectors. Just a handful of covers franked by this stamp are known to exist.
