Mint Sheets by
Don
I have been watching Ebay for what mint sheets of 1970, 80's stamps
were selling for. I am trying to sell about 300 sheets for a friend
of my wifes who inherited them. What I am seeing is people can't
even get face value for most of the sheets. Is stamp collecting
getting that low on collectors,...

Aussie Officials by
Graham Gilbert
I have a few of these (Perfin OS) and unfortunately Scott does not provide
any information. Is there somewhere on the Internet that this information
can be located? I'm not worried so much about value - simply how many issues
there were so I can make pages properly with space for all. TIA

Sydney Opera House by

The inside of this iconic building was never finished by Utzon himself, who
left the half-built project in 1966 in a dispute with the local government
about escalating costs. This week the inside came a step closer to Utzon's
original vision, the work being supervised by his daughter, Lin. ...

Peru Query by
Rodney
I am about to lightly soak some early Peru
of gunk and part hinges. With regards to the embossed "grille"
issues, do the members think pressing will likely damage them?
anybody have experience with these?
I guess same goes for the early Portuguese embossed busts
while I am at it.
Thanks.
