Hi to all

I thought I would share these with everyone
I particularly like the Kamehamaha, he looks like he is giving everyone the "Bird"

Nice. The Zion and Yellowstone are from the 1934 National Parks issue, I think one of the most beautiful sets the US Post Office has ever put out.

Yes. Known as a "straight edge" it describes stamps in the position on the sheet where they were cut apart into smaller panes for sale at local post offices. To most collectors, they are considered less desirable specimens than those with perforations all around.

Here's a further (more technical) explanation:

yes, but Rod needs his head, but seriously, the one place is on this forum. Any question asked will get an answer. Other than that no magic wands. And the amount of information can sometimes be daunting, but still unmistakeably fun.
