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,...

Got it! An eBay purchase -- full circle by
Bob Ingraham
You may recall that this thread started with my winning an early U.S.
airmail cover.
The purchase didn't go smoothly because eBay suddenly started using my old
rather than my new e-mail address in all its communications. Ebay couldn't
notify me that I'd won the lot, and the seller couldn't get...

Japan-need ID by
John O'Brien
I recently got these stamps in a mixture. I presume they are Japanese
and are NOT postage stamps. Can anyone identify them for me ? Thanks.

Philatelists' Blindness -- TV Programme by
Rodney
I have some "let out clause" with my latest effort.
I knew the stamp in question was a newspaper stamp
and so looked back of book.
The overprint was not a surcharge but regarded by Gibbons as a plebiscite issue,
and consequently placed in issue order.
Hence, I think I can wriggle out of my mistake...

Looks like a box with greater potential for crafters than collectors.

48 pounds of stamps is a lot to look at. Can you point us in the
right direction, young man! :^P

Five or six years ago, I purchased in auction a specimen of the 1898
U.S. $2.00 Trans-Mississippi Exposition stamp (Scott 293S). Sam Houston

violet." The centering is near-perfect, and the word "Specimen" is in
tiny letters at...

Which countries? by
mike
Hi
This is probably a stupid question - but then the morning is the time
for stupid questions. I am coming round to the idea that I would like
to collect Commonwealth stamps but what I am wondering is - how many
countries would a complete collection include and what are they? Are
there any lists...

The US Airmail That Never Was by
humanbeing
I have unsuccessfully been pondering a philatelic mystery for some
time and thought this would be an excellent forum to bring it to in
hope of solving it. I had either a Scott or Harris plate block album
in the early 1960s, which had pictured in it a US airmail stamp
honoring the InterAmerican...

Hi
A description on ebay of a set of stamps that I am interested in says

Cinderellas? by
Rodney
G'day Tony,
http://cinderellastampclub.org.uk/what.html
At our local "low end" stamp auctions,
A chinese stock book of say 700 mint and used Canadian stamps
will fetch say $30
3 or 4 Cinderellas that are collectable fetch the same.
The term collectable no doubt depends on the area you live in
