USPS Collapsing? by
Ralphael1
Latest news; USPS may fall victim of the economy and wither away.
Not really news to those thinkers who realize email has cut a serious
chunk of USPS income. The recession is taking another big bite. Who
knows what lies down the road.

Discounted Stamps~was discounts on Civil War Revenues by
Rodney
Many Brazilian definitives issued between 1942 and 1947 have three
close-spaced vertical green lines on the back. These were applied to
stamps supplied to non-governmental postal agencies at a discount of
5%, thus preventing their being cashed in at face value. Persia faced a
similar problem in...

Problems with hinge removal from CTO stamps by
Pasha
I often buy used stamps that are attached to album pages with hinges.
It's easy to separate the hinges from the pages, but separating the
hinges from the stamps is often a pain.
I tried using Supersafe Hinge Removal liquid, but it usually
disfigures a stamp. :-(
Of course, the easiest way is...

......Regarding Bhutan, and other judgements.
Personally, I feel if the so called "Philatelists" can collect gum,

position or sexual orientation.
I don't dislike him, I hate his guts. All because his stamp budget is
larger than mine. :-) adding to my disgust is the fact that he...
