My club, the BC Philatelic Society, has an enthusiastic new newsletter editor. He used MS Word, with great difficulty, and would very much wants to use friendlier desktop publishing software.

The Sarawak Government isssued stamps in its own right some of the best being the 1932 and the 1934 rajah issues. This latest...

Part of Australia's 150th Birthday. The Bridge was only 6 years old. Some things to note. You won't see "the stack of dishes" under the Bridge at Bennelong Point, Jorn Utzon designer of the Opera House was only just 20 then. The Lifesaving Issue (probably Bondi but I am not Au fait with the...

Hello, recently I posted to this newsgroup a request for advice on the dispersal of an old stamp collection (US & Worldwide). I have decided to break up the collection into lots divided by country. I am new to stamp collecting, and now need advice on how to properly mount and ship the stamps. ...

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...

I just received two copies of the Canada Anne of Green Gables joint issue for my collection. I am not at all happy with this one. The pair of self-adhesieve stamps appear to be torn from the bottom of a booklet pane. They are perforated on the top only. The other three sides has a wide frame that...

Not sure if you had found this stamp, but I bumped into him today, just in case FYI http://www.wnsstamps.ch/stamps/ZM007.02/en.html -- (Remove gum to reply)

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...

Last month I was looking at the stamps I would like to add to my 50th anniversary of Europa collection. Central African Republic $26.11 - Congo-Zaire $24.48 I had a battle with myself to see if I wanted to pay that much for non member stamps. This month there is nowayinhell I will pay the...

Tony here is some details on your cover. (I do note you are becoming more focused on Travancore, this is to be understood and expected, as collectors become more refined in their path) I think CMS is combined Missionary Service, and Bishop Corfield was Church of England. HTH The Rev. B.C....

Hi everyone, I would like to invite you all to visit a pair of 100% free online catalogues of Finnish stamps issued between 1856-1962. The URL is: http://www.kerailija.net/postimerkkiluettelo.php Because our site is aimed mostly for finnish collectors, the content is (so far) available only in...

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...
