India~Isolating anti theft from cover tying. by
rodney
I have had this stamp in my collection 7 years,
and always had it under "anti theft", which it is really,
but on closer inspection, "anti theft" can be broken into 2 sub groups.
(a) Anti theft
(mint stamps marked by the owner to provide security from theft
from the premises)
(b) Anti theft cover...

If you pull back the bowstring with your right hand,
the corollory is you lead with your left leg.
Not so this gentleman.

The Einstein Factor by
rodney
This question had nobody offering the correct answer,
even the "Brains trust" were stumped.
I had it correct, but you know, I couldn't name the colours,
I just knew they were almost identical.
The question was:
What country's flag is closest in similarity to the Romania flag?

US stamps used for money/payment by
phantomm_1
Hello,
During my stamp searching adventures, I often came across old
ads on paper for various things offered for sale thru the mail.
Some of these ads state: Do not send Stamps for payment, or
something similar.
So stamps were used as money for some things it seems.

OT perhaps? Alicia de Larrocha 1923-2009 by
Tony Vella
My favorite concert pianist of all time, Alicia de Larrocha, has passed
away. No one has ever interpreted Albeniz's Iberia or Granados's Goyescas
like she did. Her rendition of the Nights in the Gardens of Spain is a must
in any collection. If there ever was an occasion that called for Spain...

St. Lucia bisect(?) on-cover by

Last night I bought a St. Lucia cover from a fellow club member. He
believes it is a postally accepted bisect to make a 2 1/2 pence rate
to the U.S. I am sceptical, but it adds an interesting conversation
piece to my collection.
Any information that would help analyze the cover would...
