Argentine departmental officials by
Tony Vella
I noticed that although most departmental officials of Argentina have round
dots between the initials, there are some, particularly Ministry of Justice
and Instruction, which have square dots. Does anyone know whether this was
a deliberate change in design or simply a change of printer? Also,...

Victor Manta
The United Nations Postal Administration in Geneva, Switzerland, is one of
those administrations who still use real stamps on covers that it send to
its philatelic customers, contrary to the practice of many other postal
administrations.
As a homage to the philatelically friendly politics of this...

Nigerian scam has become Dutch scam! by
A.M.Heindorff
I have just received one of these endless scams, this
time not from a "prince something" somewhere in
Africa, but from a seemingly Dutch person, allegedly
representing the Economic Society of Netherlands
Chamber of Trade and Commerce, and sent from
the British provider .tiscali.co.uk.

Auction lot of the day by

Notice the stamp on the left top row. Apparently when all the perforations
are cut off a stamp that makes it imperforate!

Stamps I'd like to see... by
Bob Ingraham
Considering that I rarely even bother looking at new issues, much less
collect them, it's odd that I keep thinking of stamps I'd like to see. Here
are three stamps that I think should be issued:
VIETNAM K-9 CORPS
These dogs (most were German Shepherds, I believe) were an important adjunct
to U.S....

US Mint Postage Question by
Ame
As I was putting used stamps into my new albums, I came across a lot of Mint
US stamps from the 1950s onward.
My question is this: would I be better off using them as postage, or should
I try to sell them (either in APS circuit books or eBay-type auctions)?
TIA

Postal disruptions by
Bob Ingraham
An interesting web site, listing current postal "hot spots" that affect mail
delivery: http://www.wdsmail.com/hotspot.asp. It goes a long way to
explaining why your mail might get held up. Oddly, Iraq is not mentioned.

Hi --
Concerning stamps that have a slight musty/mildewy smell:
I had some stamps in a dry basement but they still took on a mild musty
smell -- no visual damage just a noticable mildew smell. For used stamps I
just soak in a little water/vinigar solution or water/antibacterial soap

Regarding EzGrader by
mariost
Hi Craig,
as the developer of EzGrader I can tell you that the degree of rotation
will make very little difference to the grading ( as long as the stamp
is within say 20degrees of perpendicular. ). What will make significant
differences is in the scan. Try scanning at 200-300 dpi at 100% .
