It looks a bit Suss.

More stamp chat? by
Joshua McGee[_3_]
Hello all,
I love it here. I love most of the people I've met here. But I could
easily handle 20 - 30 times as much traffic in one day.
I used to be a member of stampboards.com, but had a rather nasty run-in
with the enormous Aussie ego who runs the place, resulting in my calling
him a crook...

The stamp designer's "other job" by
Rod
The designer of this issue
http://cjoint.com/data/grorhNVpsW.htm
seems to have suffered from the bane of all draughtsmen
in the ability to present any sort of real likeness
of any lion I have seen, however, the "stylisation" seems
to have worked, because the issue is particularly attractive.

La Semeuse query. by
Rod
I was considering doing some housekeeping on
my collection of about 3000 pieces. I have the Yvert Catalogue
and the task seems a little daunting.
Could anyone suggest, If I seek out a Stanley Gibbons
specialised catalogue, would the detail be of a similar complexity
to Yvert?

Netherlands Indies by
Dave
At long last I am in the process of making my own pages for
Netherlands Indies. As I go along it is surprising me how many stamps I do
have. Anyone else collect this former Netherlands colony and, if so, have
you made your own pages?

Always Read the 'Small Print' on Ebay by
AriehG
Perhaps you'd like to bid $1.75 for $1.69 of face value for some 30ish year old
US commemoratives with hinge remnants? Maybe a decent deal if you want to fill
some album spaces. The lot description even includes the caveat: 'sold as is
final sale ask before bids'. So you place your bid and wait,...

Stamp Shows Canada+US - Blacklisting Edmonton? by
KennyMcVaySOB
Notice that the prestigious listing of stamp shows in Canada and the USA,
is now omitting the Edmonton Stamp Show.
Is this because there no longer is an Edmonton Stamps show?
Or, is it because of too many complaints from dealers who had their
stock stolen while...

What does stamp collecting lead to? by
Dave
To avoid another thread that included a story about how today's
perveyers of porn were previously obsessive stamp collectors. Those of us
here would certainly refute that argument.
So what does stamp collecting lead to?
A common theme among posts seems to be a development of interest in

That's debatable! (A request for help) by
Bob Ingraham
I think I've gotten myself into a programming pickle. A stamp-club
programming pickle.
Recently, in an effort to avoid having our stamp club get into a bit of a
rut, we took a poll to see what kind of activities members would like to
have scheduled for our weekly meetings. I listed several...

Portugal-1953 Mediaeval Knight definitives. by

On examining my copies of this VERY common definitive series under a
long-wave lamp - it seems that this occurs on flourescent and non-
flourescent paper.

5 cent postage by
Ralphael1
In today's mail I received two letters, each with a single 5 cent
Seacoast coil stamp. One was a window legal size envelope and the
other plain #10 envelope. Both came from the same political source and
the contents was very similiar, seeking a donation.
Enclosed in each envelope was a postage paid...

AIDS stamp mysteries by
Aaron Lawrence
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...

Question About Official & Postage Due Stamps by
[email protected]
I know we've discussed a little of this before, in dribs and drabs, no
doubt.
OK... Why would dealers or even collectors get mint copies of
official stamps or postage due stamps - say, U.S. only for the moment.
One may reply because the post office gave them sheets as receipts of
something or...

The Group of Seven was an early-20th-century nationalist art group whose
members set out to create a distinctly Canadian art that reflected the
character of the land and the people. It would be hard to find a Canadian
who has not been moved by the group's works. Their paintings -- displayed

Inappropriate Stamps by
Juan Jose Morales
The US stamp that "commemorated" the Cinco de Mayo with a dancing couple
was very inappropriate, since the Fifth of May commemorates a battle in
1862; clearly, its designer did not bother to research the origin and
meaning of the occasion. What other similar stamp bloopers can you
mention?

Themes of stamp collections by
Alex P
There is a great number of various subjects of stamps (e.g. animals,
cars, sports, etc.). I wonder what the total number of such subjects
is and what is the most popular one. Furthermore, is there a
subject/theme that has not become a stamp subject?
