eBay experience. by
Dave
I have resumed doing a little bidding on eBay lately, though my
selling has been a total zero, but I digress. I won three stamp lots and
every day since I won I have received e-mails from the two sellers about
every other day. Several days after the auctions I was forced to try to
e-mail them so...

Purple Heart 3784 & 3784A Microprint by
Grandpa
Perhaps I'm blind, suffer from cranial rectal insertion & my belly
window is dirty or am just plain dumb, but in 2 hours of looking with a
magnifying glass, a 10x loupe and my trusty QX3 (10x & 60x) I'll be
damned if I can locate "USA" or "USPS" on either of the Purple Heart
stamps I have in front...

Security and stamps by
Dominique Stéphan
Hello,
I usually lurk here, but I have a question this time.
I'm interrested in how the stamp printer make stamps
that won't be easily copied.
I can mention a few ones (and then try to make myself clear) :
- microprint (a list has been posted recently).
- a self-adhesive stamp (USA, arround 1975)

EBay lots of the day (postage charges) by
Dave
First of all, I am not the seller or any relation to the seller so
this is not a commercial post!
Now, if you look at these two auctions, isn't the posage and handling
just a bit excessive? I e-mailed the seller about this, expressing the
notion that with those sort of charges they'd never get a...

2004 U.S. Stamp Polls Now Open at Virtual Stamp Club by
Lloyd A. de Vries
The Virtual Stamp Club is now conducting its stamp popularity polls for the
2004 U.S. Stamp Program.
This is the Internet, and unlike the print publications, we tend to look
forward, not back. So, once again, we present our 2004 polls now rather than a
year from now, after the stamps have been...

A smoky question! by
Toke Nørby
Dear Friends,
A friend of mine have asked me which European monarch at one time held
the world record for smoking 240 cigarettes in a single day - and had
a special stamp issued in commemoration of this "feat"?
I think it's a joke of some kind and neither the Danish king Frederik
IX (he was a...

Album Publishing Company? by
taodave
I know that the APC owner died last year and his company was purchased
and moved to Raleigh early this year, but are they still in business?
Their website has not been updated in several months, and the listed
e-mail addresses and telephone numbers are d/c'd.

Bermuda oddity on eBay by
Dave
Not connected with seller, not commercial post.
Anyone have an idea what happened here? Looks like part was not
printed, but would this be something that was waste and not an issued stamp?
Has there been any incidences of inks on this issue fading completely or
being removed? Or... the bottom...

Help with "INDIA" by
S
I would appreciate information about collecting the postage stamps
issued by the Republic of India.
As a long-time collector of worldwide stamps, it is impossible to
"complete" the entire World, so from time to time my efforts are
focused on specific areas. Several years ago, UNESCO data...

PostEuro selects "most beautiful stamp" by
Bob Ingraham
From the November 2003 issue of Scott Stamp Monthly, this cutline appears
under under a stamp illustration for an accompanying story: "PostEurop
assembly delegates recently selected Monaco's 50-cent stamp as the most

Reading perfs by
Grandpa
Old goat needs help - maybe I've missed it in there, however:
Scott Specialized but probably any of the Scott Catalogues - If a stamp
has two different perfs, say for example 11.25 x 10.75, which is the
horizonal reading, the 1st or the 2nd?
I'm trying to establish the difference between a 3784 &...

For those who have the list I complied and offered free, add another to
the list, Football Heroes, Scott 3808-11. Hidden image of a football
player in a corner of the stamp. You'll need the special viewer
available from the USPS to see them. If I've counted correctly, that
makes 312 stamps so...

The RCSD Awards by

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
