Last week on Monday I mailed off $20 to an ad in Linn's under worldwide mixtures that read "Elmer's back, $20 for $280 catalogue value, I'm 94 and selling out. All in 102 cards. Nothing under $1". Well I waited 11 days and I received an envelope today. In it were only 45 cards, but I'll never mind that. I actually wasn't knowing quite what to expect in the first place. 11 of the cards have sets of stamps, as of now I've only looked up one of the sets and it is a complete one. I haven't noticed any cards from duplicate countries so this is the most diverse mixture I've probably ever gotten. Dates range from 1870's perhaps to I'm guessing the 80's judging from the Princess Di set. Here's a look at the first one I'm showing from the mix. Poland #120 of a Polish cavalryman released on Jan.27,1919. It's kind of nice that the cards are all labeled with the cat. number. This one is non perforated so I imagine it may possibly be a forgery of a lesser valued one listed that has perforations, but I'll enjoy it never the less.
