Nice stamp Tony, why did you opt not to soak off the paper? I feel that the torn corner would be far more obvious in that case! I have several others in the set on similar (but not identical) paper and postmarks, so I think it was a genuine non-philatelic use. for my electronic album, I would need to add the corner via manipulation. Victor Manta is the expert at that. Compare with http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/stamps/sm20la.jpg It shows how 'improved' an image can be... "Tony Clayton" wrote in message ... I did not waste money on the San Marino stamp illustrated at http://www.ukcoinpics.co.uk/stamps/sm20l.jpg but I think despite the missing corner 8-( it makes a better class of spacefiller! The stamp (Sassone 158) catalogues at 450 euro... what a pity the post office clerk tore the stamp before attaching it to the letter. -- Tony Clayton Coins of the UK : http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk Sent using RISCOS on an Acorn Strong Arm RiscPC ....

Interesting to observe the passion about behaviour. I don't think I could put a scanned image on an album page either, however I certainly have them in my stockbooks. Again, to each his own. I would be very uncomfortable with a scan on an album page. But would I be as uncomfortable with an image PRINTED on the album page? No. Goes to show. -- Joshua H.

I am not comfortable with scans on album pages either. However what I
do have is scans ( and magazine articles,downloads from the net, and other relevant material ) in plastic sleeves interleaved in my albums prior to the relevant set( or space for same ). Again this is for ease of reference ( I even have references for items on RCSD and other sites listed!). This does take time "at the time" but saves repeated times looking up in the future. Malcolm |
