Hong Kong

Ok, maybe I'll wait awhile to show the next set of postcards from yesterdays set.


$1 Dollar HK is really a nice find I made tonight. The George V below I can't find in my catalogue, but then I'm more intrigued by the seal on the stamp.

In The Clouds




This is the front and back cover of a folded postcard set. Someone took a picturesque railroad trip in 1941.


The map on the inside cover shows Colorado on the east side and California on the west. Also in between are Utah, and Nevada and Arizona.

I'll be posting several of the cards each day the next few days.




Bush has gotta look at himself in the mirror at times, and say "What the hell have I done?"

Baseball Greats

Should I complain about anything on this issue? Why complain? I'm not "collecting" these, so much as getting them to use on mail to send to someone.

If I collected mint US Stamps I'd be hurling lugies at the USPS.

Why make a collector pay $7.80 for a sheet of stamps commemorating only 4 baseball players?

I'd of been happy with the sheet of comic book heroes I posted the day before yesterday. Same price, so many more different stamps.

It's not like it took anyone a great deal of time to work on these 4 renditions.

St Thomas and Tanzania



A couple nice souvenier sheets. I saw hummingbirds at my back porch today and rolled over elephants playing "My Katamari" tonight on my PSP. See how it all fits together with tonights theme? Tonights theme is things I saw today. For real on souvenier sheets.

Batman, Hawkman, The Flash.....




...and others.


I gotta say that Batman was my favorite comic book hero when I was a kid. I imagine because it was a popular tv show at the time.



Several new stamps have been issued since my last visit to the post office. I stopped there today and picked up a couple must have sets.
