Please let me clarify a couple of points. On re-reading the Scott notes, not all the Farleys were accepted by the Post Office Dept for gumming. |

horamkhet, There were 2 souvenir sheets issued, Scott 735 and the special printing Scott 768. The distinguishing feature is the wider gutter (margin) on the 768. The 735 were cut into panes of 6 before release while the 768 could be bought as sheet of 150 (25 panes of 6). The prices seems a little high to me but I am not familar with the Australian stamp market. |

I thought I'd add these here rather than starting a new thread. I found these album pages in the back of an album of Gilbert & Ellice Islands material Possibly signed by the whole expedition, including Byrd  |

I'm pretty sure that the signed cover is an important and very saleable item. Do I risk the vagaries of eBay, or should I hunt out a (probably US-based) auction house? I sell quality Falklands material on eBay UK, and start it all at 99p. as I know I have a core of very serious collector customers. This is a different proposition I think. |

Just a bump. Can anyone suggest an auction house in the US that may focus on Antarctica material? |
