Hello. Can someone suggest digital camera settings for photographing stamps for selling on Ebay? Or know of a website that can give some information on it? Thanks.

Whats the story with the recent flood of offers of "mint,no gum' GB stamps offered on eBay. First, where do the get them from and secondly, whats the legal status ?. I assume they are being sold to be used as postage. Ant views ?

Any sundry gossip available on these? http://cjoint.com/data/dcqZ6DUyYd.htm pookiethai at iprimus.com.au

I am cataloguing my Croatia Issues, and have lots of queries. The first two: http://cjoint.com/data/dfeERaKE00.htm Any idea the artist of this work? (St Mary's Zagreb 1650) The 10th anniv set, 1941-1951, I cannot find anywhere, perhaps my SG simplified is not up to task, can anyone offer Cat...

Could anyone please confirm whether the stamps of the former South African homelands : Bophuthatswana ; Ciskei ; Transkei ; and Venda are still valid for postage in the Republic of South Africa? Blair

Yesterday I came across this Greek stamp, that seems to show a Leaning Tower http://queries.heindorffhus.dk/greece-LeaningTower.jpg The face value being 300 Drachmos, I believed it to be a fairly recent issue, so I searched Michel through the 80s and 90s, but to no avail. Because of its...

Another reason not to buy PhotoStamps: My neighbor wanted some so I ordered four sheets, two of him and two of his wife. PhotoStamps comformed the order then days later rejected his photos because they were "vintage" photos. (They were photos of him in uniform, circa 1945) PhotoStamps advised they...

Would photostamps tend to be worth more canceled than mint since with a cancellation it would appear they were created to actually be used? Would there be a collecters's market for such stamps? I guess if they end up just being a passing fancy then that would increase the value. Tom

Hi Anyone who can tell me what rate lies behind a 25 reis stamp added to a wrapper in 1886 destined for China, please? regards Svend

I tried the USPS website and they were just no help at all, so I turn to stamp collectors for help! Now that rates have gone up to 39 cents, my wife delved into that little "odds & ends" envelope of stamps that have been hanging around for years, to make up the extra 2 cents per mailing. Problem...

My wife and I went to see Brokeback Mountain yesterday. Interesting film, and no, I have no wish to engage in a discussion about gay cowboys! What I want to talk about is terrible representation of American postal markings! The film is set in the period from 1963 into the 1980's, and the three or...

Hi All; After having put your stamps in order, please help me with the following: Is it easier to buy ready made albums (if so which is the best). Or is it easier or better to get the binders with pockets and create your own album, so to speak.

Hi, I've seen mention on the web of the usage of an Epikos system to produce engraved stamps. I'm interrested in all informations about this press. Are the plates/cylinder engraved by laser-engraving (I've found a patent about that from Epikos Tech).

I know next to nothing about US stamps, and totally nothing about Worldwide issues. None the less, I find myself with a russian stamp w/ a denomination of 60(kon?) and a larger numeral 14 in the center of the stamp, which is 37mm tall and 27mm wide. Above the number 14 is the USSR flag, w/ the US...
