Hi everyone, What does a US Scott #64b really look like? Scott says "Rose Pink" I have seen many dealers have them listed as #64b, but they did not look like the Scott description at all to me as they looked like a rusty red with a pink or pink/rose tinge. I have several hundred 1861 3c...

Can someone (perhaps with a Stanley Gibbons catalogue) tell me the date of issue of the 1/2p and 1p King George VI definitives of 1937? Scott doesn't say; I have just ordered a nice cover dated May 10, 1937, which was three days before the king's coronation. Edward VIII's abdication took effect on...

I have a few complete sheets of stamps. Any idea of the best way to store them ?

I find booklet panes interesting and include them as newer items that I buy and toss in a shoe box. I also have some older rarer ones but really don't have a collection. There are two things that I notice, first: The booklets that I buy from Stamp Fulfillment are different from the vending machine...

One of my few purchases at my first bourse a month ago was 3 stock book pages of mint stamps with a few cxl'd ones mixed in. I paid like $6 for around 200+ stamps, almost all being early 1900's and mint. Having had an opportunity to look closer at them now, behind another stamp I found what I am...

In 1911 the US Post Office issued a 10c orange postal savings stamp in sheets and also a single item imprinted on a card. Shortly afterwards (the same year) the stamps were reissued in blue. What was the reason for changing the colour of the stamp so quickly? Anyone have any ideas Thanks Rob
