Just got a copy of Linns yesterday and noticed the new UN stamp onthe front page. Funny that they can have a stamp completely done in 2 months, yet it takes the US what, 3 years minimum? The stamp is available in 3 denominations, Eng, Fr, Ger, as is the verbage. So on to my question: In which...

Has there been a post strike in the US lately? I am asking because it seems that mail US-Europe (or at least US-Denmark) is currently delayed 10-14 days in either direction. My mail sent 2-3 weeks ago has not yet reached the recipient(s), and I am still expecting mail from the US that was...

Does anyone know if the texts below, are available on the web anywhere? I have parts 3 and 5 (not known if they are interchangeable with this list) from APF News 1995 and would be interested in obtaining the entire paper, if possible. I think it belongs to the RPS society of Canada. Campbell,...

I received a letter today from the Northwest Federation of Stamp Clubs: http://www.ingraham.ca/bob/blackhumour.jpg. Is the U.S.P.S. is engaging in black humour these days? Bob

Hi Rodney, Emails to you seem to bounce back, even when following your instructions for answering :-( I just wanted to say thank you for the latest scan, and that the rest can easily wait -- there is no hurry at all :-) Regards

A young Bulgarian-Canadian member of my stamp club, the British Columbia Philatelic Society, has offered to translate documents from Bulgarian to English for any collectors who need such a service. His name is Toma Stamen; he immigrated to Canada with his parents a few years ago, and is currently...

Warning to Maximaphily collectors! A large number of "old" and "rare" Bulgarian maximum cards have appeared on the market lately. Some of these sell at quite high prices. The sudden introduction of such a high number of items and the observation that they all have a rather similar appearance...

My wife recently received the attached cover from a political organization. It is unusual in that it bears a service-inscribed bulk mail stamp WITH A CANCELLATION. I think the use of a mailers postmark on such a stamp would be permissible, though I've never seen one, but this one has no permit...

I checked the Suetsche Post site but I can't find anything on the subject. Does anyone know if mint postage (mostly from 80s) is still valid? I thought I might send it to friends in Germnay for them to use unless I sell it to a collector. Also, is DDR postage valid (I suspect not)? THanks

My German is very rusty (wish I could find English versions of Michel's site) so I am problaby a bit clueless as to how useful it is. Any comments are appreciated.

On the off chance you collect Australian. I am looking to trade for US, and have had similar poor response. The last trade for US, I received 100 or so from a want list, and with 80% with dark wavy cancels, (which went straight in the bin) (I've revisted my previous stance of never destroying a...

For instance, I keep hearing about Mekeels stamp weekly. I have yet to find out where to get it! I have heard it's still around, or is it? Apparently, some people know about it and others don't. Will that keep me away from collecting stamps as I know it now? No. Will it have an impact on...

I can't find the thread, but there was mention here recently of a gentleman who told his wife he was investing in stamps but turned out to be collecting zillions of common ones, presumably spending the cash on something else. Well, I think his collection has just appeared on eBay:...
