Been wondering for a while - do many people make collections of these town/city cancels? Since coming by a good few older US in an auction lot I have been keeping these separate from the "normal" used equivalents, and they certainly make an interesting side-collection. Any ideas how many different ones there are? Did every town issue these?
I have been told I can be slow at times but there is something to be said for getting something the second time around. First I got a chuckle out of the "accident" and a minute later it hit me (putting two and two together so to speak) and literally burst out laughing re the "MD". I sure get my money's worth sometimes.

There are literally tens of thousands of different cities and towns represented and millions of different types that can be found. Although most precancels don't command much value (there are significant exceptions, though), it is an interesting sideline to get into at relatively low cost.
I recently posted some links that would help at this topic:
