I haven't got my perf gauge out, so I can't be sure if this is the 1928 or the reengraved stamp.

I do like the very light cancel. I really do!!



Who's gonna be the 2000th visitor?
I'm going to award a very nice gift to the 5,000th visitor.
I expect this to happen sometime in late 2007 at the rate of hit's the blog gets.

Still looking.....

I might be wrong, but I think whoever typed the address on this cover wasn't very good in typing class, or better yet, probably never took typing.

Like I say, I could be wrong and this is proper formatting. I'll be sure to edit todays entry if someone shows this to be the custom.

We got a new member in the In Search of Stamps group.

Pius XI

Vatican City, Numbers 29 and 30. Valued $4 and $16.

What a hoot!!! I've come across quite the mixture. I feel like the guy in the movie that was doing great and continued playing in the storm lately. It's a blast finding stuff worth more then minimum value once in awhile.

Greek Airmail__Ain't it Ashame

Greece, nice c1-4, the only problem is... whoever mounted them didn't realize the gum could stick and laid one atop another for lack of room on the page.
It will take some work, but I think a light soak would work fine.

The delema I have, is should I soak the whole stamp and lose all the gum? Or should I soak only the affixed portion in order to save some gum?

They are mint remember.

My 03 puts this set at $18.50 US. $45 NH(if wishes were nickels).

Suggestions?

I've gotten spoiled making big finds the last couple weeks. Now lets get back to normal above avg. finds. This looks to me like Scott's 541 valued $5.00 US in the '03 catalogue.
Happy as usual.
