Hello Blair, yes, it appears perhaps a little gossip has got out of hand, but I can see where it has come from, (and this may interest Ralphael) When I went Googling, I came across this topic on Stampboards (and I do not know if this is someone yanking our legs) but there appeared a curious Souvenir sheet of Australian stamps together with a Norfolk Island (NI) stamp inclusive. Why would Australian print and charge for a stamp that no one can use bar in NI? http://cjoint.com/data/knxTvKldu3.htm Rodney "Blair" wrote in message ...

:0) OK. it seems rather absurd though,Tony. We may see in the future, this stamp commonly cancelled on Aust piece, I cannot see how the auto machines will pick it up, unless of course the souvenir sheet is not commonly purchased.

Have you ever seen "The Teapot of truth" on cover How often do you see anything but booklet definitives on letters these days? At the moment, I'm using Cocos Island commemoratives on all my mail, business and personal. Completely philatelic and contrived, of course, and of course 99.99% of recipients won't notice, and will simply junk the envelope. But perhaps one in a few thousand will notice, and save the envelope. So every couple of years, one of my envelopes will be noticed and saved for posterity. [Sigh ...] Tony |

You're not on your Pat Malone, I received a package from Ian Boulton yesterday (peelable hinges) and he is using Cocos 27year old vintage, Not Contrived per se, just using up junk from phossick boxes. Strangely enough, I do not have a mint or used copy of the 65c Aboriginal, never came across one in 9 years of dumpsters. http://cjoint.com/data/kplD5qh4uE.htm "Asia-translation" wrote in message ...
