I don't understand the message.

Great David

That stamp will be hard to get in nicely used condition and yours is the firt I have seen.

Yours is very nicely cancelled.

I love the cohort of color plate scuba divers.

Good sna, nice looking stamp.

David,

Could you also do a scan of it with a small-sized Canadian stamp for size comparisons sake please?

I used a"Machin" Instead

That is a very nice piece on cover djd. The extra stamp for comparison really puts it all in prospective.
We had 2 jumbo stamps issued in 2004 and 2005 both $5 stamps. Called Treasures from the Archives.

I got a nice one from a dealer as well recently. John

I just saw the FDC today and the stamp in the flesh for the first time. It is Impressive. A show piece of any collection. The FDC is nice with the map on it too.

I would have bought it but the lady found some Marine Life booklet with numbers that no one had scooped up yet. She hadn't heard of numbers on them.

I think they should have put some small and large and identifiable fish swimming around it too to add to the real-life scenario type of thing and also to add to the thematic appeal, the sea. Better for selling to a wider audience then. Maybe the Bluenose sailing along over on top too.

Don't forget to include the H.M.C.S. Haida too

A worthy ship Bujutsu.


HMCS Haida = 377 feet. In service 1943-2003.
Bluenose schooner = 160 feet overall length,
Blue whale = 108 feet
Ships too big for stamp!

Beautiful stamp but I can't stop myself thinking that whales are hunted by chinese. It make me sad...

I just mailed a parcel to my mommy in Montreal, it was just over $20 so I put on a sheet of two $10 Whales. The P.O. clerk did a nice cancel - we will see how it travelled through the mail when mommy sends the wrapper back. Hopefully no damage. Wishful thinking?

KGV, you got great cancels on your sheets!

Thanks BeeSee!

That whale is an amazing stamp!

djd and I have got our pieces through the mail in very nice condition.

Hope very much that Puzzlers 2 whales make it. John

I hope they make it too!

Where are they coming from?
