This is coming up for auction in June by SG in Melbourne. Any ideas? http://cjoint.com/data/gcxP4iPGfN.htm (1952 35th anniv of grt rev , unnissued?)

I found on a Romanian perforated block of 2 complete sets - EUROPA - CSCE 1973, a printing error - the name of town HELSINKI is printed HELSINK. If someone has info regarding that specified error please, don't hesitate and post your comments. I don't now if this error is mentioned in catalogues or...

Can someone give some historical facts about the Cross of Agadem http://queries.heindorffhus.dk/libya-Occupation1949-ap-GhadamesMilitaryTerr-CrossAgadem.jpg Libya1949, Scott 3NC1 I have searched Google, but found no relevant information. Thanks in advance Mette

I am currently reading the life story of Richard Hakluyt and the Roanoke and Virginia voyages. The cover Map (Chesapeak Bay detail 1624) by Captain John Smith shows what are undoubtedly rivers, but he has them as "flu's" Someone in this forum is a map aficionado IIRC, and may offer some background...

G'day Mette, I was busy cataloguing some Japan Peel and stick, and this caught my eye :) http://cjoint.com/data/gbd56tK11N.htm 1998 "Year of France in Japan" SG2525 110yen

Has anyone else been amazed at the reports in Linns of common stamps selling at auction for more than 1000 times Scott catalog value? e.g. a 16 cent Lincoln, catalogged at 90 cents, selling for $920. Purely because it was "98% perfect". This is really gum collecting gone crazy (or an April fools...

It appears, that so far only two postage stamps of Appel's works have been issued on stamps: The Netherlands 1988 (shown in a previous post) and Belgium 1998: http://queries.heindorffhus.dk/belgium1998-CobraArt-AppelDotremont.jpg which is known as a co-work between Karel Appel and Christian...

Since this newsgroup has been so helpful in the past with answering my rather beginner-like questions, I thought I'd shoot again. I ran a search using Google Groups, but couldn't find much about whether or not stockbooks are all created equal. I currently have a couple Lighthouse stockbooks (one...

The Collections magazine, Summer 2006, that I've got from the Canadian Post, proposes a set of booklets, plus souvenir sheets, etc., dedicated to Canadians in Hollywood. Of four actors, only one, issued earlier on a stamp (Fay Wray) is actually depicted. The whole should be quite soon (May 26,...

Well, it looks like the only way we'll get any more CDS cancellations is by hand-back or courtesy cancels, if we're lucky. I know that many Europeans are quite retentive about circular cancels, so I guess this tosses out just about everything the U.S. cancels these days. We could always send...

Can anyone tell me why this postcard, from Belgium To England, would be liable to Letter Rate ? http://cjoint.com/?fCqnYjVOWs

I'm trying to find out something of the various portraits of George VI found on stamps and would be most grateful for any assistance. For starters, I've posted four stamps with George VI dressed up in ceremonial togs along with a couple of portraits I found on the...

Digital Blue is Re-issuing the QX5 Microscope... Details to be found at one site I went to: http://www.journeyed.com/itemDetail.asp?T1=58451263N $79 bux, brand new. Sort of a souped up Mattel QX5, of which I have. Nice to have around for those flyspecks you want to check in a hurry.

I just got the Digital Blue QX5 microscope and it seems pretty slick. However, what I really wanted to do was capture digital images of my stamps for my database. But the image is just a little too large for the stamp. Is there a way to drop the magnification down or increase the field of view so...

Well yes! possibly the first ever naturally occurring edible fruit, does this humble fellow reside on a stamp? I looked in my 60,000 images with a nil result. Did you know, they burn the nuts to make charcoal for silversmiths.

G'day Victor, You may wish to update your Brancusi Page :) I just noticed "The Infinite Column" on SG3420 (1966) T611 55b+45b Stamp Day (Bucharest side of imperf 2) Regards.

Hi all. First, some history. I am a newbie wading my way through Scott's Catalogs for a friend. He has a shoebox full of various worldwide stamps he handed me and asked me to look through them to see if anything is worthwhile in there to sell, and scrap the rest. Now, I collect coins largely, but...

http://cjoint.com/data/fCqrsj6l3c.htm This series of stamps was issued in 1966 and again on June 20, 1968. Scott notes that the 1966 issue has "1966" inscribed on the stamps. Does this mean that the 1968 series has "1968" inscribed on the stamps? I ask because I have quantities of these stamps and...

Hi there... If you have any Belgian Congo, Democratic Republic of the Congo (Belgian, not French) (Congo - Kinshasa, not Congo-Brazzaville), or Zaire and want to trade, pass them on, get rid of them, I may be interested in the idea. I have 1000s of stamps to trade (from my own stock) and would...
