How do you most enjoy working on your collection?

Is there an ideal way or do you just take it anyway you can get it?

When sifting through a box of stuff I just bought, it doesn't much matter.

My ideal, however, is generally a winter evening after everything has settled down... going into my stamp room, closing the door, and putting on one of my favorite soft jazz CD's while I carefully hinge stamps into one of my albums. It's soothing, relaxing, and so pleasant I sometimes spend more time at it than I probably should.

The most recent issue of the ATA journal, Topical Time, had an article on stamps featuring Cryptids - mythological or extinct species some believe are still with us today. An example would be the Loch Ness monster. Bigfoot, or the Tasmanian tiger.

For example, there is this New Zealand issue depicting the extinct Giant Moa:

Since janknez collects flag stamps, I looked to see if I had some early flags stamps in my collection.

I found this Scott #121 30c blue & carmine, showing a shield, an eagle and flags, issued May 15, 1869.




Unfortunately it has a rather heavy black cork cancel.
This is normal for the issue, though, since postmasters were intent
on canceling stamps heavily to prevent their reuse.

I think this must be the earliest US flag stamp.

OK, here's the auction....

US #291 1898 50c Trans-Mississippi Used Stamps

Your mission, guess the final sale price. Closest to the final price, over or under doesn't matter, wins 50 assorted World Stamps. In case of a tie, I'll just have to award multiple prizes I guess.

Guessing ends Tuesday at 6:00PM Forum Time.

You may edit your guess up until then. An edit stamp after this time, voids your guess.

If you would like to check out this seller's other stuff...

Have at it.

I have many stamps that are cut from envelopes in my collection. I also have some full envelopes with their stamps still attached. I love keeping the envelope with the stamp(s) and have no intention of cutting them off.

But as for the individual stamps with paper still attached, Should I soak them off or leave them as they are?

The 2 cent black Andrew Jackson stamp (Scott #73) has always been a favorite of mine. Does anyone have a black jack or a black jack on cover? I bought this one back in the eighties.
