UN Stamps by
Grandpa
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...

Mette
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...

Paper preservation. by
Rodney
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.

To Rodney by

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 :-)

Beware of fake maximum cards! by
Bjorn Bakken
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...

Bulk Mail Stamps by
John O'Brien
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...

Is "Deutsche Bundespost" MINT Postage Valid For Use In Germany? by
Peter D
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

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

Mekeels Stamp Weekly. by
Rodney
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...

Curious eBay Item by
Chris Doran
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:...
