Souvenir sheets by
Tony Vella
For some silly reason I just cannot bring myself to give or throw away
souvenir sheets even those outside my collecting period (from Penny Black to
December 31, 1959). I have been tempted to buy a full size photo album
(some of my SS are rather large) to keep them in - the sticky pages covered...

Joshua McGee[_2_]
OK, a roundup of questions from kiloware that I just sorted:
1. http://cjoint.com/?mtfg5ypcWY
This piece of paper has the same design as a Cote d'Ivoire stamp -- it
was identified as the stamp itself by the (inept) kiloware dealer.
However, it is imperf, ungummed, on roughly 20# stock, and...

Machin Bisects by
Chris Doran
An interesting pair of covers:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3502&item=5524929429&rd=1
I don't know what the PO rules about creating bisects are, but it
looks as if the local post office had to write an explanation on each
envelope and the sorting office to agree. (Is...

Scott numbering system by
Ralphael1
Scott numbering system is about to send me to the funny farm where all
good wackos go.
Example: Catalog note after Scott 2597, "Nos. 2595-2597 also available
in strips spaced for use in affixing machines to service first day
covers."
In my opinion that is a coil strip and needs a number, Scott...

Mass scanning of stamps question by
Bill P
I have a need to scan thousands of stamps.
I would like to place a few dozen on the scanner at a time, and then
have some software automatically ( if possible) separate the
individual stamps into separate image files. Does anyone know of the
name of such software?
Thanks In Advance
Bill

steve_PE
I have a few used 3 cent Prince Edward Island postal stamps from 1942/43 time frame. They are in decent condition. Are these worth anything? There are at least 3 different graphics used on them.

Romania query by
Rodney
Occasionally, I bump into stamp tabs such as these:
http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=190
I was wondering, if the habit of adjoining tabs was widespread
in the Romanian collection?
Does the tab increase the value of the adjoining stamp?

Travancore. by

Tony here is some details on your cover.
(I do note you are becoming more focused on Travancore, this is to be

Stamp history buffs by

I'm no historian by any stretch of the imagination but doing another
