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% . Do not...

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. Bob

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 Ame

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....

Argentine departmental officials by Tony Vella
