Do catalog publishers ever reformat their catalogs? by
Dakota
Another late night - last night - always late!
Sitting at my worktable last night slipping stamps into mounts,
snipping the mount, lick and stick and then on to the next one.
I've often faced an irritation with this because Scott (and Minkus)
and probably a lot more publishers do not allow room...

Right of ownership??????? HELP! by
Dakota
Hey gang:
Haven't posted here in a while - but I do read it every day.
Here is a poseur that I can't answer - and some of it has been
deliberately 'shaken, not stirred' to protect the innocent/guilty or
mere bystander.
Let's say that the following is true:

APS & eBay by
Dakota
Last summer the APS magazine reported that they were going into a
relationship with eBay. I note that eBay does have a link to the APS
site - but the article I read said that eBay would also have an area
specifically (so I remember anyway) for APS stamp sales. That seems
to not be the case thus...

South American Catalog by

Can anyone recommend a good Catalog for S. America? - Better yet an
Airmail catalog!
Coupla years ago I bought some stockbooks full of WW airmail. This
last weekend I decided to get busy with them. Thinking I would be
better to start with the bigger groups, I started with Bolivia, Brazil

I'm full of questions today! by
Dakota
Query 1.
From time to time I'll get a packet of album pages that have been
ripped out of old albums. I don't know who made the albums, but one
in particular has popped up that interests me. These pages are printed
on very thin paper. the country names and descriptions are printed in
German,...

Delcampe is going "American" - soon! by

In some recent email exchanges with Seb (Sebastian) Delcampe I made
suggestions to him about adding some sort of translation bar to his
site. The offers there appear in French, German, Dutch, Italian,
Spanish and even English, but such a concentration of diverse
languages can be daunting. This...

Japanese Postmarks - Emperors by
Dakota
Hey gang:
Today I visited a dealer/friend who tossed a question at me. I'm
afraid I don't quite understand what he was asking and it must have
been apparent because he asked me to post it 'with your stamp
collecting group'. So, please read the following and see if you can
determine what it is I'm...

Golly, I've bumped into a real conumdrum - hope somebody here can help
me.
I'm a Scott person in the U.S. trying to buy some Russian issues from
a Michel person in Australia. Up here, Down there - different catalogs
- Aw Criminy!
Anyway, I have a set of Russian issues from May 27th, 1957. They...

Mounts that don't quite fit! by

Perhaps it isn't of large enough import to reply to, but lets see what

Really big (BIG) mounts by

Does any mount manufacturer offer big mounts?
I've got a souvenir sheet that is 91 MM tall which isn't all that
tall, but it is about 300 MM long. For the non-metric here, this is a
tad over 11 inches long. I'm using Scott Specialty Pages and they are
pretty big, but even placing this puppy on a...

Which volume of Y&T is Russia? by
Dakota
I'm visiting a lot of European sites in my attempt to fill some empty
spots in my Russian collection. Everybody there seems either to favor
Michel (a little)or much more commonly Y&T.
I see "Y&T 1287 non-dentele, 12.50 Euros." WOW!!!! HEY I might just
need that one - but which one is it? I send...

Souvenir Sheets - Redux by

We've been here before, but try as I may, I simply do not understand
exactly what it is that makes a souvenir sheet!
I've consulted four different Ouija boards, 6 different packs of Tarot
cards and even had a heart-to-heart talk with Leroy down the road.
Leroy is the one that everybody consults...

Anybody got a copy of the Sept 2003 "Scott Stamp Monthly"? by
Dakota
There was a dealer listing on page 19 offering lots of souvenir
sheets. I ripped the page out, tucked it closely into one of my albums
- but some pultroon threw it away.
(Note to self - Pultroons are evil and they all must die!)
Anybody - can you post the dealers name, address and Phone #?

Another eBay fantasy by

Check out the following link:

Scott XXX (or) XXXX'a' but no cat value given! by
Dakota
Hello you wonderful Wizards of Philately!
I've recently started bumping into "a" issues. Scott mentions them but
confusingly there is no value assigned to them.
So, gang - what's it mean? Is there a value? Where can I find this
value?
Handshakes,

U.S. Specialized Multi-Gauge by
Dakota
In the latest Amosadvantage catalog this new gauge is being offered at
about $14.00 - probably $17.00-$18.00 with shipping included.
The description compares a new 'feature' of it with the Kiusalas
gauge.
I'm wondering if anybody here has actually used both and just how the
Multi-Gauge compares...

Where did all the collectors go? by

Hey all:
There was an article in the November 24th issue of Linn's - not really
an article, rather a disclosure, giving their subscription statistics.
All publications are required by law (here in the US) to publish this
information once yearly. Many newspapers publish it in every issue -
