Going through some kiloware and came across this interesting piece. All US stamps overtop of Canadian stamps. Now thats a quick thrifty way to reuse a bubble pack.

I do that frequently if there are good stamps underneath I want someone to have - as well as the good postage I put on the package. It is also a green thing to do.

bearwithfish - These can be soaked with care and alot of time. Alot of time (do not be tempted to use water warmer than lukewarm or any detergents.

patience is key soaking any stamp over stamp situation. I received a parcel with a bunch of stamps and the ones on the side were a nice souvenire sheet I wanted to save but it also had selvedge from another one plastered over it. Stamps came off paper no problem but trying to get the selvedge off ruined the deal. Was my fault trying to peel rather than wait till it naturally seperated.
Bearwithfish-- congrats on the 50 post club certainly didn,t take you long at all!
