Ok, I've been following the India thread and noted CTO which I found to be 'Cancelled to Order', but what does that really mean?

Rodney, I tried replying to your e-mail, but was told "Illegal host/domain name found". Coud you please send me another personal e-mail, perhaps with a different address? Thanks. Bob

I hope there are some specialist collectors of the South Atlantic area in this news group. In a cheap auction lot I found a cover bearing the three Falkland Island coronation stamps of 12 May 1937. These on their own are of little value but it is nice to have them on cover with a clean circular...

I want to mount one of these sheets in my album as I've done with the other album pages I've made, which are inserted into acid free page protectors. Unfortunately this sheet is 9"x11" instead of the normal 8.5"x11" size and so far I've had no luck locating a protector that will hold it - the...

I see those large lots a lot sold in pounds. What are they? Are they worth the effort for a begginning collector? thank you

Sorry, but for some reason I cannot reply to any messages today - darned search engine/google! I find the Ott-Lite (may be Ott-Light) a great help. It's supposed to duplicate natural light. Sure doen't cause any strain to my eyes. The only thing bad is they're pretty expensive - replacement...

I take the liberty to occasionally post a few cinderellas Perhaps the purists can take this time off for a cuppa. I thought this a nice one to have a bo-peep at because it is a rather cute woodcut, by a blacksmith no less. hope you like...

While cutting plate S3333 on the Sennett 'Stick' 37¢ U. S. Flag coil to make vertical blocks, I discovered that the tabs holding the coils together are spaced differently than on plate S1111. Details are on the PNC3 website at www.pnc3.org. FYI - We are going to be hitting the 100,000 visitor...

Hi Are there any experts in Canadian stamps here? I have two stamps from Canada, that I can't find in the Stanley Gibbons catalouge. I have SG 249 and SG 252, but they only perforated on the sides and at the top. Does such stamps exist?

Hello all! Have been lurking in the balcony for a few months getting some education from an active newsgroup. Thank you! I recently bid on the wrong lot at a postal auction and, as you can imagine, was very annoyed with myself. The lot I received was a group of about 100 Polish commercial covers...

I received my Encyclopedia of Colors os U.S. Postage Stamps by R. H. White yesterday. I passed on bidding on a set on eBay because one of the bidders was a familiar ng name. It went up to $430. I tracked down a set and got it for $400 + shipping. Fortunate for me this set looks as mint as I've ever...

Hi there! I need to ask some of the big wigs (please put on tin hats, grab a T-square and your pocket protectors) here a question about catalog values and a cool way to calculate them - since I know of no other way. We have, in the past year, talked about the Forbin Catalog for Revenue Stamps. ...
