Stamp history buffs by
Grandpa
I'm no historian by any stretch of the imagination but doing another
round of soaking tonight it dawned upon me how many different people
there are on US stamps. I ran across 2 names I've never heard of, and
I'm positive they'll not be the first I know nothing about, but....
Without looking them...

Burning Stamp Collection - Proper? by
Anonymous
A friend has admitted that in disgust with offers to buy
from so-called reputable dealers, he has now started to
burn his huge collection.
He says that the offers to buy were so insulting,
he feels that by burning his collection, at least
he will be denying the crooks the chance to make
money...

British money is so strange..... :^) by
[email protected]

just flummoxes me! I should add that I am concerned here with
pre-decimal coin of the realm.
Chris recently provided information about the color change to GB
(Scott) #249, and serendipitously I found a 1946 cover in my...

Canadian stamps by
Grandpa
I don't want to start a political war or anything but am curious why it
is that British Columbia/Vancouver Island, Newfoundland, New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have seperate stamps & listings in
the Scotts catalogue (and others) as opposed to being under "Canada",.
For example,...

The RCSD Awards by
Tom Loepp
How about an rcsd awards like the Oscars for an original album page
design or for that matter any page of stamps, stamp, or philatelic
item. Someone with a great deal of server space can host the entries.
The page would have to be an actual album page with stamps on it, not
a webpage. A few...

Stamp orphans by
Ralphael1
For those un acquainted with the term Stamp Orphans; these are stamps
with no country name.
As far as I can find there are no laws that say a country name needs
to be on postage stamps.
Great Britain is famous for never having the country name on its
stamps.
The USA has ten stamps that qualify as...

Highest/Lowest fv stamp by
Ralphael1
I suppose we will never see a stamp with a higher face value than the
old multi million dollar Gereman stamps. NVI stamps eliminate the need
for face value.
AFAIK the US one half cent issues may be the lowest. There is tinkle
in the OLD noodle that says there may be a one quarter cent stamp...

If the British are Britons.... by
Bob Ingraham
The British are Britons, and the Irish are...Irish. I was tempted to
say "Irons," but I digress.
is there a single proper noun which covers everyone who lives on the
British Isles, including the citizens of the Republic of Ireland? It
seems so tedious to say "the populations of Great Britain...
