For some silly reason I just cannot bring myself to give or throw away souvenir sheets even those outside my collecting period (from Penny Black to December 31, 1959). I have been tempted to buy a full size photo album (some of my SS are rather large) to keep them in - the sticky pages covered...

Well, I never... I thought the Belgians were bad using dogs to pull artillery and ammunition during World War I, but during WWII, the Dutch have seemed to outdo that! See postmark, it shows 1942. http://www.adirondack-pc.com/DutchMailPig.jpg It seems that they had commemorated the porker who...

There goes the first $100. Croatia 2 - Germany 1 Where the hell is Oliver Khan when you need him? Back to stamping, it's cheaper! -- Tony Vella Ottawa, Ontario, Canada http://amedialuz.shorturl.com/

Hello all, I love it here. I love most of the people I've met here. But I could easily handle 20 - 30 times as much traffic in one day. I used to be a member of stampboards.com, but had a rather nasty run-in with the enormous Aussie ego who runs the place, resulting in my calling him a crook...

Hi there - Are there any U.S. Prexy fans in the house? I have this 16c Lincoln http://www.adirondack-pc.com/LincolnNoPerf.jpg that seems to be missing some perforations. No, they are not blind perfs. These are truly missing in action. How do the rest of the Prexies stand up to this? ...

Rodney was writing about CSA stamps a while back and I found one of my facsimiles. It says so on the back... http://www.adirondack-pc.com/FakeCSA.jpg Nice quality, overall, but the paper is gray (or grey) - ish. Once in a while a real one is found in auction collections. I have a few,...

I have just received a negative from ebay ID JAWNMJ and would strongly suggest that you add this name to your blocked bidder lists, especially due to the fact that we can now no longer leave negative feedback for idiot buyers. M. -- Currently accepting consignments for sale - 25% final sale...

OK - We have known for a long time that something was rotten in Denmark. I think I know why. It's the postal workers. Yep. They have been doing quite a bit of nasty stuff to the King's portraits. Now - Investigator that I am, I have absolute proof that these workers have been up to no good at...

We were discussing Framas, meters and other nasty labels a while back. Well, one of the Freebie Stamp Project recipients sent me this little fella and I forgot all about it until I was looking through a cigar box (US for phossix (?) box). http://www.adirondack-pc.com/CostaRicaCutie.jpg Who says...

Well? We've heard that stamp collecting has been going to the dogs and I'm here to prove it. Along with one of my favorite stamps as posted previously comes this full grown pup for your entertainment: http://www.adirondack-pc.com/IrishDog.jpg These remind me of the Tasmania platypus revenues...

Just when you thought it was safe to answer your e-mails, get offers from foreign shores, or let the cats out, I appear with some more ne-erdowell philatelic offerings. http://www.adirondack-pc.com/FakeNigeria1.jpg No, there's nothing wrong with my...

Here in FLA USA a good ole boy is known by having a pickup truck, gun rack in the rear window and a set of plastic bull testicals dangling from the trailer hitch. It seems our State Legislators were offended by the plastic dangly things and passed a law that forbids plastic bullballs hanging from...

Rodney posted one of the puppies and it was unused. I ran across this in my recent travels and it shows the National Bank of Denver as a cancel. http://www.adirondack-pc.com/USDocumentary.jpg This was (I think) the last documentary to be issued and revenues weren't used after the last '60s. ...

OK - I've heard claims of speedy delivery before but this sucker truly offers it. Victor, I thought the SNA FDC were fast with Global Carpet Priority mail, but I have no clue about the perpetrators of this issue. http://www.adirondack-pc.com/Speedy.jpg Any clues? Reminds me of the company that...

I collect FDC and commemorative covers from Postal Commemorative Society becuase of the art and presentation. Its fun to build the sets. However I realize these items are not meant for investment. With that said, does anyone know if ArtCraft still prints the cachets for Postal Commemorative...

Here's one for the penguin meister Joshua. These poor pengies must be pretty durned cold out there. http://www.adirondack-pc.com/Cold_Penguins.jpg Will someone revive me long enough to tell me which sordid and sundry entity printed, issued or ice cubed this set of stamps? This set belongs with...

I have several copies of the 15f red, 20f blue, and 25f red of this issue. As part of an ongoing investigation into all my world "common" definitives I have eaxamined these under a lw u/v lamp. To my surpsise I find all 3 on a paper with no reaction and also all 3 with various intensities of...

My homepage (please note that no trade right now) http://home.netvigator.com/~edwinchanhk/colcontent.htm Nothing valuable and the homepage doesn't look good, just for fun. Edwin (Hong Kong)
