Blackout Stamp a Worthy Cause, But Here's The Truth Folks! by
Blackout stamp is a silly idea. Even Monty Python wouldn't have used it.
I always wonder, because Europe & Japan had the crap bombed, blown up
& destroyed out of them, wouldn't it go along that everything to replace
what was destroyed in the war is more modern than what we have. Much of the

New Site: Communism on Postal Stamps by
Victor Manta
http://www.values.ch/Communism/
I will extend as much as possible this site, which I consider the most
important of all those many that I have created during the last eight years.
It will probably be the last big one, and in a certain sense "the swan song
of my philatelic webmaster's soul".

Blackout stamp by
Doug Spade
In honor of the 50 million people who were left in the dark, I propose that
the U.S.P.S. issue a blackout stamp. The design would be simple---a pure
black rectangle with a pure white border.
The gum, of course, would be water-activated, as a reminder of how precious
a commodity water is,...

Search Engine 'Fun'. by
J. A. Mc.
In looking at David's "Auction(s) of the Week", I thought I'd check
Yaboo for any Penny Reds or other UK material I'm hunting.
Unfortunately (as do many US dealers) they confuse the Commonwealth
with Great Britain and lump them all as 'one'.
"Can I help you?"
"I'm looking for Great Britain"

Any value for old Scott catalogs? by
John Mycroft
I'd guess a couple of bucks. The catalog would be of interest to someone
who doesn't collect past 1990 and doesn't care about values. Narrows its
appeal down a bit. Having said that, I use a 1996 classic catalog and have
no intention of buying a new one in the foreseeable future.
Cheers - John
