Over Run Antarctica Deep Freezes



But actually it's warming up!!! (refering to title)

Sorry for the stained cover tonight. Not much time to blog tonight (as usual).

Working 6 days a week really does suck. Not to mention Deb works a complete different shift.

What"s with the reverse printing suddenly? Also note reverse printings seem common, I just saw a block of 4 tonight on ebay....no bids.

This is a nice cover(minus the stain) to have if your working on Antarctica. I trade.

Good References

First Flight Cover, East St Louis route

One thing leads to another.



The obverse is stamped 180 degrees around.


I just know that there are serious collectors of these who'd just love one of these. Email me, I've got three,different addressee's in the local area. I can trade. That's the beauty of collecting, PLUS you get a cool cover.

Ant eater or The French Guiana Stamp


I've seen this things on TV shows. They are quite the creature to watch.

This is a surcharged stamp. #96. Minimum value. Still nice to see. I'm sure someone is missing a few in the set.

Illinois

I live in the state of Illinois, which is shaped like the cutout(Top picture is correctly oriented).

I also live in the city of Belleville, which is where the Illinois stamp is cancelled.

I wonder what this is? I'm going to have to try and contact my local stamp club and see if there is anything to this.

This is an odd item, wouldn't you say?

Bother

I understand everyones pain, when they can't upload photos. Damn the internet traffic and downed servers.

Praise the internet too. I've added a link to my links. This really is an awesone blog. Mucho variety and as informed on stuff as a site can be. I find it hard to believe that one person works on this site!! Roundup.

Hopefully I can get some images up tonight. I need help identifying a stamp. Those Cyrrilic ones really frustrate me!!!
