Hi, I had a bunch of modern prefecture Issues of Japan. I could identify most of them except the following ones. Is there anybody you can give me the prefecture and if possible the year of issue of the following stamps? Thanks in advance. Best wishes

Greetings, I've a interest in all US stamps that have errors. Where can I find a group or Web site that has the same interest? Also, are there any US stamps from the 1900's to 1940's that are hard to find in pairs or blocks?

Under both s/w and l/w uv light these flouresce ( no afterglow ). However the flourescence appears to be EITHER yellow OR white. - the 1zl on both, 10gr on white, and the remainder on yellow.

This sheet of commemorative Canada Post stamps has been sitting untouched in my drawer for years, which is a waste, as I am not a stamp collector; I just admired Gilles Villeneuve. I would like them to go to an appreciative collector and thus give more pleasure than they do right now. I am not...

I am curious as to the "L L" in this 1900 Hungarian cancel. Would that be a special hammer for Postcards? Levelezo lap= postcard. Postcard by Charles Divald (1830-1897) Pioneer photographer and Pharmacist (1666-1907) ??? Postcard illustrates the worldwide communion with the exchange of...

Domestic collectors of current US postage stamps should follow the lead of the OLD one: Only buy from Providence, Rhode Island Philatelic Center. There is a complete inventory on line. I can buy just one stamp, the Cave has a minimum of four.(I have too much excess postage now.) Booklets are...

About a year ago I was given 3 blank CDs to replace 3 I had lent. I normally use Memorex but the ones I was given were Dollar Store specials by the name of Rymex. I used one of them to back up several Excel spreadsheets of stamp collections and an Access database of a music collection. The...
