Hey gang: Haven't posted here in a while - but I do read it every day. Here is a poseur that I can't answer - and some of it has been deliberately 'shaken, not stirred' to protect the innocent/guilty or mere bystander. Let's say that the following is true:

Australia Scott #319 ( a minimum value stamp issued in 1959) comes in two types which differ only in the number of engraving lines within the numeral of value. One needs a microscope to see the difference. Question: how did the existence of these varieties first come to be noticed? Also, the stamp...

It seems that J.Mc must be mentally challenged. The header clearly refers to EDMONTON, so this slime interjects some article referring to another city - Calgary!! Perhaps he is personally involved with thefts that he wants to divert attention from the repeated EDMONTON SHOW THEFTS? One must wonder...
