I've made progress on a checklist of worldwide moisture-activated booklets, just as deep as Scott major number. I have SEIs Alaouites - Angra, alphabetically, done. This essentially just means Algeria, French Andorra, and Angola -- can't find the others offering booklets. Anyone want to help...

OK, I'm through Argentina now (alphabetically) in my attempted catalog of worldwide stamp booklets. There must *surely* be *several* clubs focusing on collecting worldwide booklets, don't you think? I hope there's even one with English publications. But I feel like I'm shouting in the dark...

When I make a post to the newsgroup I have started getting a Validation thing. Is this something that is now required to post to the newsgroup? I have not tried posting without using the Validation thingy. Ralphael, the OLD one

I recently acquired a charmer of a complete booklet, Scott 530a (complete booklet), the 1973-11-28 Danish Fresco intaglio issue of 10x 70 ores stamps in five designs. In the paste-down selvage at the pane's left border (with the top oriented up), there is a number (11453) inscribed that does...

Each year, Yvert & Tellier publishes a catalog of the new stamps issued in the world. Of course a lot of stamps are missing and added later on in the catalogs of the following years. In the French speaking philatelic newsgroup, someone asks if Scott, Michel, SG (or others) are publishing similar...

Hi Rodney, Tony Alright. I was almost right. The link below gives a little more insight into the Varig issues: http://brazilstamps.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html When you get to the site, scroll down to 'Brazil: Little known stamps' and paragraph 3.

Hey Rodney: Do you have any info on this one? http://www.airmails.co.uk/webpics/L006.jpg Blair

I have been wondering where Rodney gets all his strange stamps. The only thing that I could come up with is that he is a stamp store Dumpster Diver. :-) Second thought was that wackos like me send him their "What the 'ell is this" stamps. Ralphael, the OLD one

Gday I just sold an old album to someone in Canada and good ole ebay calculated the shipping cost of a flat rate international box as $24.95 but the USPS actually charges $29.95. The purchaser, not surprisingly, paid me $24.95 and I see no reason why they should pay any more. I have asked ebay...

Hi Everyone! I scanned and posted on my website the new Israeli stamps that were issued in May 2008. I included the stamp itself, the first day cover, and an English and a Hebrew flyer about the stamp. - "Hatikva" Israel's National Anthem (souvenir sheet) - Israel - 60 Years of Independence - The...

I am trying to up date my Mariannes. Scott is giving me problems. Scott listing: 2003, Nov. 6 - 1984 - 50c Sower type - red My album shows a Marianne the Sower with Marianne by Luquet (label) attached. Is it correct to use the term label? Using Scott I can accept the c rather than the € in te...

To quote PT Barnum, "There is a sucker born every minute and one to take them." I think here is a case of the taker: http://www.bombaystamps.com/full_pic.asp?img_id=44497 Would any one in their right mind pay $46 USD for this "philatelic item"? I think not. No real true stamp collector...

Hi Rodney, Believe it or not it is a cancel and not an overprint. If you need anything else let me know. Jerry B

Hi I was wondering if there is any interest in collecting hand painted First Day Covers with some artwork on the side of the envelope. I make such cachets for US, UK, Sweden and Australian stamps. Please visit my website to take a look what I am talking...
