Hello fellow collectors... what do you think of this cover?
1st: the postman missed the stamps when doing the cancellation ... well... I guess it's a light cancel isn't it? LOL! That's what the sender asked for "PLEASE CANCEL LIGHTLY"!
2nd: the same or probably another postman seeing the stamps without any cancellation mark decided to use the famous "Rollerball pen" type of cancellation...

My question is... does something similar to this happens in your country?

Hmm, I've never seen this kind of thing before.
I often see cancellations at the wrong place of the letter or card. Most cancellations are done by machine, not a person, so the machine has some recognition software to guess where the stamps are.
I think it's not bad example for "postal barbaric",unfortunatelly sometime I seen examples with "X" pen sign on stamps as cancellation.
