Colin McKenzie -- Cycling in the UK is about as safe as walking, and helmets don't make it safer. Make an informed choice - visit www.cyclehelmets.org. The thing was that I received a parcel from UK with a Dr.Who TV series mini-sheet on the outside. As a cancelled mini-sheet is not very frequently found o parcels/letters I wanted to keep it as a valueable item for my collection. The mini-sheet was auto-adhesive... so, when ungluing it from the paper, the stamps fell off their frame because perforations were indeed cuts. I want to keep the stamps and their frame in one piece doing the minimum damage to the mini-sheet. That's why I thought hinges would be the best solution but wouldn't want those that keep glued forever as they are damaging the paper. Pedro Cabrera |

Colin McKenzie I am not worried so much about cheap stamps as more expensive used material. -- Tony Clayton www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk |
