I would like to find information on a plain postcard that has a postage stamp with 3 on the left side corner then canada with the picture of queen Elizabeth printed on card? if anyone can help me in this quest,please contact me,I'd be thankful.
Returned from the Philadelphia National Stamp Exhibition about dinner time spent about 3 hours there. The exibits were nice. I don't know much about standards for exibits but I enjoyed them. Grand daughter had a good time looking for horses, cats, and dogs. She even bought some post cards. Next show I'll have a better idea what to expect. Seen a dealer who does a small monthly show in the area. Seen several dealers (not selling) who I see at local auctions. Next year my wife wants to go for the post cards.
Those of you in the Texas and Oklahoma area: The Greater Houston Stamp Show will be held this weekend coming up: on Sept 14-16. Free admission and free parking. See the Houston Philatelic Society website at www.houstonstampclub.org.

Having just won two low value lots in $$ I am delighted that the current exchange rate of £1 = $2 makes my purchases even cheaper! No use my trying to sell in ££ though as they are much more expensive to USA purchasers. Incidentally, I find the eBay UK practice of not listing on eBay USA if you list on eBay UK counterproductive to them, as now when I do list my lots I list on the USA site, as there are a vast number more Japan lots there than on the UK site.
one very happy Colin

Good morning to you! The Australians are probably still asleep at this hour so I'll give it a shot.
Australia accepts as valid for postage stamps from Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Australian Antarctic Territory and (I believe) Christmas Island (Indian Ocean).
I'm not sure about the airmail rate Australia to West Germany in 1964 but 1 shilling 2 pence should have been enough.
Nice cover!

Actually, the ZIP code 10570-2799-00 is the ZIP for Pace University in Pleasantville. The ZIP on the PVIs is the ZIP of the office to which the mail piece is addressed.The name, Brooklyn in this case, is the office of mailing.
Did you get my email on the volcano collection?

Today’s Scam Email Laugher… “Next of kin of the diseased” instead of “Next of kin of the deceased”. Diseased often leads to deceased of course, but the previous sentence in the email indicated the man died in a plane crash. Perhaps he caught something and died of it while the plane was on its way down…

Greetings, a US buyer has paid thru paypal and the delivery address as mentioned in the paypal mail was: Middletown 077483158 The Zip Code looks strange to me..., usually there are only 5-digits numbers. Does Middletown has a different system? I already had contacted the buyer twice but so far no answer from him...

Looks kind of spoofy to me, the legitimate overprints I have seen were Canal Zone only, no Panama, and the wrong time frame. Also kind of Blurry on the serifs. Steve

Hello stampaholics! Just got back from a weekend visit to SE PA and Hershey park (a large amusement area and home of Hershey chocolates). The journey included many road cuts through the Great Valley limestone outcrops and a quick trip across the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Thanks to jaywild for the continuing contributions to my G. Washington/State quarter collection!
Hi Anne! How's the new semester going?

Mexico??? Did someone say Mexico? I'm running on fumes (literally) trying to reorganize my Mexican stuff. The coins may be kewl, but the stamps are a watermarker's nightmare.
On the other hand, watermarks can be fun too. On Friday I got a really neat Egyptian watermark error. It's a 10 carmine from the 1957 "Egypt, Tomb of the Agressors" set that wasissued to commemorate the 5th anniversary of the revolution. The normal stamp should be watermarked with eagles and "Republic of Egypt" in Arabic. This one has a crown and an Arabic F. One sheet of 100 is known. Somebody goofed and ran the wrong sheet of paper through the printer.

Actually the 19th century Mexican stuff is even neater. (keep in mind that until 1857 Mexican and related spanish colonial coinage was legal tender in the US, and the basis for postal rates such as 12 1/2 cents (i.e., 1 real).
When Mexico did its monetary reform in the early '90s, the first few years of the 10 new pesos and 20 new pesos actually had some silver in them. Both were bimetallic -- aluminum bronze ring with a silver center. Neat stuff.

220man It is a 5 peso (2004) coin. The coinage of Mexico is preety kewl in the last 20 years or so but it's all very common. I just put all of those units in a drawer because they are worth more to look at than the actual value.

ok! It's about 1939 Czechoslovakian New York World's Fair Pamphlet.A two page pamphlet explaining that because of the Nazi invasion of Czecho-slovakia, the Czechslovakian pavilion was not finished. "The unfinished pavilion represents a symbol of the spirit and a symbol of the motto of the Republic that truth will ultimately triumph and that in a free Europe the Czechs and Slovaks will again breathe freely."
Can you go to "http://www.infophila.com/new/cla_tisk.php?id=10" and see what's about? please and let me know the catlog num,ber or value or if this is rare or not.Please and thank you for your time and help

dbenson Yes! Old Robson often proves to be the true reference. Never did manage to get his encyclopedia. Perhaps i should. According to the measurements, my stamps are genuine.
due2 - your bilingual Canada marking is new to me and I have collected the area for over 35 years.
It is unusual to me for a couple of reasons -
1. The airmail rate on the cover to the US is straightforward and as basic as it comes. I can rationalize no reason for needing such a marking even in english for this cover.
2. Canada has quite a few bilingual (English/French) markings but they were primarily used in the province of Quebec. Your cover is from Ontario and thus its use peculiar.

It would be greatly appreciated if chat board participants provide LINKS to pictures rather than posting them directly to this board. Here's how to post a LINK. Thanks.
vax2… You asked your question at an inopportune time—the board is pretty dead after 9 pm Pacific Time US (eBay time).
Yep, fingerprints on gum is a big no-no. Make sure your hands are very dry before you separate mint stamps with them. Fold between the stamps along the holes, then fold them back the other way, then tear.

VAX THIS IS a message board, and you need to check back every few hours to see if you get a response, particularly when you post in what is the middle of the night USA TIME. STAMPS should ALWAYS be handled with stamp tongs, or stamp tweezers (not eyebrow or medical ones, special STAMP ones), stamps should NEVER be touched with fingers front or back and oils in the skin can mark the paper over time, and yes, fingerprints on the gum could be considered faults. If separating lots of stamps you should make sure you hands are perfectly dry and clean, then fingerprints will not occur. Linda

It is indeed old home week. Also small world week here in NJ. Do any of the old hands here remember ddetr? The reason I ask is that I bought a few things from an accumulation of archaeologically-related stamps that were his. They had already passed through several hands, but his name was attached to a few things.
Dave D: If you're still reading this board, I now have a couple of misregistered modern Egyptian stamps and a block of 4 of the Sleeping Lady of Malta with an printing error from your collection. And a few other things of course.

dbenson Thank you but I have three mint lower values 2p, 4p, 6p. I somehow recall being able to measure the loops on the B. Any further info would be most helpful.
djs127 I CAN plus an annual GIBBONS to boot!

prochute, there is more than one type of the original B. Used stamps with fake B's usually have a Singapore cancel which ID's them straight away. Mint are more difficult.
Jimbo: Yes, I have the same problem you do in trying to post on here. The first post never goes through. What I've found works is to cntl-C it, then use the browser's "refresh page" command (not the chat window's "reload" but
