Does anyone know of online want list services (where you can post your want list for dealers to see)? Please reply by e-mail also, as I do not see replies on this newsgroup. I apoligize if this has been answered before -- I have been travelling most of the past 12 months, so have not seen...

I am trying to identify two stamps I have, both marked “Louisiana Purchace Exhibition, St Louis World Fair 1904”. Both are about the size of a typical commemorative, and they are perforated.

In my mail today I received a credit card offer - actually I received 3 of them, two bearing the important notation of "Do not discard"! But I did anyway. As I usually do I ripped them in half and tossed them into the trash. I started to walk away when a light bulb popped up above my head (I love...

It seems that MANY of the 60s Belgian RR stamps, printed in red or shades thereof, seem to bleed all over the place. The other colors don't have this "issue". Is there something with this color (maybe Rein can tell me) that is VERY dangerous around others, when soaking? I've noticed that they...

I am not a stamp collector so my questions may sound strange. I have found some first class stamps of Elvis Presley with a printed value of 27 cents. My question is: are they of any value other than 27 cents and if so how much. They are in mint condition. Please answer to as I...

I have some older QV and KE Hong Kong stamps with Chinese cancels on them. Places such as Amoy, Shanghai, Canton, etc. How common are these? SG mentions only about the B62 (?) / B63 (?) cancels on GB stamps - and stopped doing this, I guess, in the catalog I have. (Ancient) Anyhoo, if anyone...
