| EDITION 527 - 07/30/2024 |
| The monthly board meeting will be this Saturday. |
| It's a new month and a new schedule. There have been changes. Please inform me of any errors or changes in a timely matter in order for them to be included. |
| We just had EXPO and I believe the best part of a show like EXPO is learning about other people's collections. I don't believe there are two of us that collect exactly alike. The exhibits are a great way to explore this. I found a collector that collects the issue pictured below. She has many varieties and usages. I found one for her that has the Mr. Zip Selvage were the stamp was to go. It did get cancelled and marked postage due. The proper postage was then added along with a note, "you dum-dum-dum". I was curious who may have added that. It looks to be in the same pencil as the "5 cents due". Could it have been the carrier? recipient? sender? No way to tell for certain now, but it adds to the story. |
 |
| I was asked at EXPO a couple times if all the covers featured in the Nooze are from my collection. Three times I have featured other members covers and they were given credit for sharing their covers. The rest were all mine when they were shown. Some have been sold or traded since they were shown. I would love to show more of your stamps and covers. The rules are, they have to be owned by you and you have to give the description. I have had people send me a scan and ask me to tell people about it. Your material, your story. If you are interested contact me @pjflaherty58@gmail.com. We do have limit on file sizes with our server and we like to keep all the type one font. |
