Nederland FDC



Semi Postals from the Netherlands. An entire set.

I'm kind of in shock, this is the second complete set of stamps I've posted in recent memory.

Does anyone have a catalogue that values this FDC? Just curious.

This is "The Laughing Child"

GB added to list


I got my first cover from GB courtesy of Michael Dodd and IPDA.

I was the high bidder on a commemorative cover.

If you'd like to see the cover, visit his site, I believe if my memory serves me he posted a scan of one of them with some info. yes, on Oct 9th.

One of these nights I'm gonna take a break and make you all suffer with some personal photo's

1873 GB




What's to say? This letter screamed at me the moment I saw it!!



Was paper scarce? probably.

I notice the reuse of an envelope it looks like.


This must have been someone really pinching pennies, even the ink is sparse!!!


I didn't realize postage to the US was 1 penny. The cancellations are way beyond my scope of knowledge.

JimmyB, still searching

Postal Card



Except for the crease(ugh!!), I really like this postal card. The other side of the card is blank.

It's really tough finding just one aspect of philatelica to concentrate in.

You could spend a lifetime just concentrating on postal cards.

Where should I begin? Should I narrow my quest down?

No.

Post Script...if you don't know me I need more letters from many countries, please email me if you are not from the US. I probably DO need a letter from you!!!! Mexico, please help me. I need you for North America!!! If you know a trader in Mexico, please send him or her a link to this page. Gracia.

London Cancel


This cover caught my eye. GB to USA with a stamp hand stamped rather then paper postage stamp.

Probably nothing to collectors of GB, but kind of novel to me.
