Spain




OK, I admit it, I really like these nude stamps. There's just something about seeing a beautiful woman nude that's fascinated me since I was about old enough to walk and talk at the same time. Even before I started collecting stamps. Hehe.

Russia




I like the colors on this. #71 1906 5 Ruble

$4.50 used in my 3 year old catalog. Nice find tonight eh?

I only wish it had been 11 1/2 perf rather then 13 1/2.

The difference? $270 in the catalogue!!!!

Garbo



I tried ordering the Swedish booklet of 4 stamps thru the USPS and all I could get was this. Snoozers are losers, but I'm still glad I could get this.

I should have tried getting it when it was released.

Don't forget you can often enlarge my scans by clicking on it.

Missing in Action



Postmarked on Dec 14, 1950. Returned 2 months later(mark on back).
I looked on an MIA list for Korea and didn't find his name. Perhaps he became known later as POW or KIA.

Clouds Redux

It just came to my attention, that my post the other day was missing an important line on the back flap!!!
