I have a sheet of stamps that I want to separate into individual stamps. How can I do it with the fewest possible tears?

Assume the stamps are all rectangular, all the same size, arranged in a uniform rectangular grid, each stamp is perforated along all 4 edges, and the sheet is very thin.

The stamps can be stacked and a square spiral tear counts as a long tear.

2 tears will suffice.
