phantomm_1
Greetings,
I've a interest in all US stamps that have errors.
Where can I find a group or Web site that has the
same interest?
Also, are there any US stamps from the 1900's to 1940's
that are hard to find in pairs or blocks?

To clean or not to clean by
phantomm_1
Greetings,
I've a few old stamps, some used, some not.
However, they are not what some would call MINT condition.
I want to sell them after they get certified.
Now, should I clean them with proper cleaning fluid or
leave them as they are before getting them certified.

to go to an appreciative collector and thus give more pleasure than
they do right now.

Canada Ho Ho Ho. by
rodney
Christmas greetings with Santa's Ho Ho Ho cancellation.
The sender placed the top stamps upside down,
presuming they are tagged, would that have flipped the cover
up the wrong way?
Can tagging establish which way is up?

Thanks.
