Bush stamp

The Postal Service has created a 39 cent first class stamp with a picture of President Bush. The stamp has not been sticking to envelopes, which in turn enraged the President, who demanded a full investigation.After a month of testing, a special presidential commission presented the following findings:

1) The stamp is in perfect order.
2) There is nothing wrong with the applied adhesive.
3) People are spitting on the wrong side.


Thanks Diane

Here's the souvenier sheet for Marshall Island. I always see ads for Marshall Island stuff I'd never buy, it makes me feel like a sucker to need it.

Trafalgar and war ships

The veritable who's who of the great war ships. I had to get this for my Trafalgar anniversary set.
I hated to, because I feel like I'm buying a set that's pumped out for collectors, but how the heck can you have a complete anniversary set of all stamps commemorating the 200th anniversary?
This set is different then all my others so far, in that their are stamps that deal with ships unrelated to the battle at all. Oh well, fortunately they got a painting of the HMS Victory, lame as the painting is.

Baliara Egypt cancellation

Not much here really, but interesting for it's age. issued in 1884 and postmarked in 98. These stamps must be in every bulk older stamp mix. What I like is the Sugar Apparatus MFG. Co. That's a riot!!!

Uganda Kenya Tanganyika

Only 323 regular postage stamps in my catalogue, not counting 12 postage dues. Perhaps a reasonable quest, except for perhaps the King George V 3 Pound and up with values up to $50,000 and up for the 100 Pound one. Whew!! this stamp is worth a couple hundred if the left rope doesn't touch the sail. When it does touch the sail, like this one, it's worth the time you look at it.

Impeach Bush. Protect America. Defend your rights in the 4th Amendment or get Congress and Senate to repeal it.

St Vincent birds

Perhaps you can see now what messed me up the other day on the Grenadines of St Vincent stamps, I knew I had these and thought those on the cover were those, I just need the 2 highest values for the set. Good Luck. Then again you never know what you can find when you look.

My protest blog was last Saturday, yeah. Deb listened to the new Neil Young CD tonight and told me Young hates Bush more then I. Is that possible? hehe
One of his songs is called I think"shock and awe" another was "Impeach the President", sounds like I need the CD. OOps, I got it.

State stamps sheet

Daily scans of stamps and covers are starting to fill my hard drive. It looks like I need to find the screws to put an extra drive I have into my PC. This sheet of stamps uses 9.4 Megs of space. Wow, space hog.

My excitement over the massive number of hits on my website after Saturdays blog has subsided. After the initial surge on sunday(an alltime high and 3 times my average) my blog has fallen to it's typical hit place.

Well, I did my part in trying to get the madmen out of the White House.

I've been recieving emails from a local club member and he uses Excel files, it frustrated me since one was a list of inventory of what appears to be a stamp dealer in Arizona.

My question for today. Why wasn't the District of Columbia represented in this series of stamps? You can view a larger version of this sheet by clicking on the image!!!

Bicentennial Coin

Wow, scanning stamps is a whole lot easier then coins. Coins are too reflective and you need to edit the scan as much as you can. Stamps are easy, no editing really required.

I got quite a response from Saturdays post, I meant what I said. If you got an email from someone and got here, you need to look at my Saturday blog.

I haven't had any time to check out any of my stamps today, nor to peruse online at others. I did happen across an FDC I have that also came with this coin inside. The FDC was that of the 4 different craftsman. I'm being a bit obtuse my not sisplaying the cover and showing the medalion instead. Oh well, nothing wrong with a little change in scenery.
