I'm no historian by any stretch of the imagination but doing another round of soaking tonight it dawned upon me how many different people there are on US stamps. I ran across 2 names I've never heard of, and I'm positive they'll not be the first I know nothing about, but.... Without looking them...

A friend has admitted that in disgust with offers to buy from so-called reputable dealers, he has now started to burn his huge collection. He says that the offers to buy were so insulting, he feels that by burning his collection, at least he will be denying the crooks the chance to make money...

Well, Victor... I just found 3 more inciteful articles on the international raping, pillaging and plundering of the Congo that you state was / is a local, neighborhood affair. No civilized countries would take advantage of the weak, without paying them for it? Think again. OK... your current...

I have never understood British money and may never understand it. It just flummoxes me! I should add that I am concerned here with pre-decimal coin of the realm. Chris recently provided information about the color change to GB (Scott) #249, and serendipitously I found a 1946 cover in my...

Hi all! I'm new in stamps collecting and I have a question that may seem stupid to you but...;-) I am on Vatican's mailing list and I received their order form for the latest stamps. In the included leaflet for a certain stamp I read: Valore facciale: 0,60 euros Foglio da: 10 francobolli On the...

I don't want to start a political war or anything but am curious why it is that British Columbia/Vancouver Island, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have seperate stamps & listings in the Scotts catalogue (and others) as opposed to being under "Canada",. For example,...

How about an rcsd awards like the Oscars for an original album page design or for that matter any page of stamps, stamp, or philatelic item. Someone with a great deal of server space can host the entries. The page would have to be an actual album page with stamps on it, not a webpage. A few...

For those un acquainted with the term Stamp Orphans; these are stamps with no country name. As far as I can find there are no laws that say a country name needs to be on postage stamps. Great Britain is famous for never having the country name on its stamps. The USA has ten stamps that qualify as...

find this site great ... as well as commentaries and the people ... search engine is superb ... far surpasses MSN ... comments ?

Over the years I always just bought "any" stamp available for my letters and bills that I mailed, but in the past two years, as I personally visited the post office more often, I became interested in buy different types of stamps. They are mostly all interesting .... they sure beat the...

US APS computers in Philately first edition Vol1 Num1 Summer of 1986 http://cjoint.com/data/mFjiZtjEog.htm Produced on an IBM PC-XT Clone (many of us would have started on this model) My first word processor was "Norton Editor" in yellow text on a green screen.

I suppose we will never see a stamp with a higher face value than the old multi million dollar Gereman stamps. NVI stamps eliminate the need for face value. AFAIK the US one half cent issues may be the lowest. There is tinkle in the OLD noodle that says there may be a one quarter cent stamp...

I am allowed to inform you what Jørgen Jørgensen wrote to Victor Manta in a mail to him about one hour ago: "Dear Victor Manta. Thanks for your kind reminder! It is not the first reminder that I receive - some members of DTA also requests when they can expect the Heindorffhus website...

The British are Britons, and the Irish are...Irish. I was tempted to say "Irons," but I digress. is there a single proper noun which covers everyone who lives on the British Isles, including the citizens of the Republic of Ireland? It seems so tedious to say "the populations of Great Britain...
