Hi, The users of this group have always been a font of knowledge, so I thought I'd tap your collective brainpower again. This time I have a few mysteries I want to solve. First -- just an FYI. I run www.aidsonstamps.com. It's a site about, you guessed it, AIDS/HIV on stamps. These questions...

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).

Ham radio? Cool. Closest I've ever gotten to that is my shortwave and using a dispatch radio all of about 3 times :) I didn't see the 60 Minutes on eBay, what was the story on? I did see an article about the eBay scams where they steal your information. Shell Shell, I...

In a new article I publish an interview with the new leader of the WADP, and then I present the results of a survey of illegal stamp issues, originated in Burundi, that contradicts WADP leader's optimistic assertions. The weaknesses of the over ten years long approach of the WADP and the UPU...

I don't know if this is strictly a US question. I have a number of paste-up pairs, specifically US Sc# 458 (hinged), 457 (hinged) and 394 Mint, plate #5424 with APS Cert. I'm evaluating these and am wondering if what sort of premium is attached to them. Scott's doesn't go into the values of...
