I am not a stamp collector so my questions may sound strange. I have found some first class stamps of Elvis Presley with a printed value of 27 cents. My question is: are they of any value other than 27 cents and if so how much. They are in mint condition. Please answer to as I...

I want to create a file on my computer containing the Scott catalog numbers for all U.S. stamps. I don't need a price list. I'm only interested in the descriptions. I could go through my Brookman catalog and type it all manually, but that would be tedious and time-consuming. I could scan each page...

A newbie to stampcollecting (a kid of 14) has decided to collect maps and flags on stamps, and asked me if I know of any websites dealing with these subjects. I don't, so I promised to ask the question here, hoping that someone can give some good hints. Thanks in advance :-) -- Ann Mette...

Hi, I try to get one stamp from every area (Country, Region, city, Railway company, ...) in the world which gives or gave out own stamps. At the moment I have only a handful or so areas from Danmark (Railway and Bypost stamps) and want to know if anybody have some material for exchange or sell and...

There was a dealer listing on page 19 offering lots of souvenir sheets. I ripped the page out, tucked it closely into one of my albums - but some pultroon threw it away. (Note to self - Pultroons are evil and they all must die!) Anybody - can you post the dealers name, address and Phone #? For...

Thanks for all.

There's a web site at http://home.claranet.nl/users/vba/ owned by Albert van Beek where he says that he'll take any number of Australian Roos and Georges for trade. I did a trade with him about 3 years ago and it was great. I've been trying to contact him recently at but haven't...

During a recent library research visit, I used a 3.2 megapixel digital camera for copying 8.5 by 11 inch pages (mostly text). The page images were in good enough shape to read. I later figured out it works out to about 170 dpi. Given the camera distortion (lens distortion, jpeg compression...

Has anyone here ever heard of an old Britsh lithographed text on foregies, by a British? author named Earee (spelling uncertain)? I used to have a copy many years ago. Loaned it, never got it back (from the same scuker that later ripped my collecions off)! I know the Univ of Chicago used to have a...

What are the axes of variation on the definitive booklets of Netherlands Antilles, such as the following pair? (Sorry about the white background, I know it bothers some of you): http://cjoint.com/?imdRe3J5PK Both are labeled "3B". Clearly the columns can be transposed, as they are in this...

Is there anyone on this group from Southampton UK or surrounding areas? I need to raise some cash this week by selling some of my collection. Mostly used, off paper - many hundreds of - many countries. Originally bought as a sack full which have been sorted into countries but not had a close look...

Could you please tell me the current catalog value for a Transvaal #274a stamp. I recently discovered one in my collection.

to the Sarasota National Stamp Exhibition this weekend? If so, look me up - I'll be manning the Florida Philatelic Library Foundation silent auction up on the stage at the back of the auditorium, near the USPS booth. As an incentive, here's the current...

Hi - I've been sorting out piles of Spain lately. Maybe about 15 #10 enevelopes, pretty full. I've been accumulating them for about 10 years. I have some mixed feelings about their entire history, but wanted to share about what I've seen. Spain seems to have a mixed bag of really decent and...

Gday, All For sake of something better to while away a Friday arvo while venting my spleen, I have created a web page - www.cobbsmill.com/spam.htm - containing the URL of some of the worst spammers and a couple ideas of how to annoy them. Any other contributions are most welcome - be as obscene...

Forgive my English my mother tongue is French, I need some recent catalogue numbers from these countries mentioned above. So if you got them I would appreciate your help to identify recent stamps issues from 2007 & 2008. I own the Australia Stanley Gibbons Country catalogue 2009. If you need to...

I've finally got round to getting a "new" 1996 set of catalogs. Anyone want my old ones for the price of postage from North Carolina? I'd guess that US domestic mail would be around $4. Europe & UK is $23 or so by the cheapest route so I wouldn't bother. -- Cheers - John...
