Here is positive proof that gum worship is dull. Even this guy's ad touts his dull gum. Not sure why the vignette is displayed instead of the gum, nor what difference centering has to do with anything. And priced to sell, $6500.00 ack!! the gods must be crazy. I have some ocean front property here in Arizona if anybody is interested.

I couldn't agree with you more - what on earth is the point of gum varieties??

But there must be people out there who enjoy it, so good luck to them!

Fascinating and tempting. How big are the waves? Are there sharks?

I can't imagine having that much money in something as fragile as gum. A humid day would ruin your "investment". I would spend all my time worrying about that one block.

I collect the Liberty Series. There are some gum varieties, but they are definitely off my radar. Just can't see buying gum. That's also why I really prefer used stamps. So much less worry.
