I don't think I could splurge for 1200, but I would definitely take 50 or maybe even 100 at that price. Thanks for sharing the scan and the story (so we can all fantasize about finding such a deal)  Kirk [edit to fix typo] |

WOW - I don't know the first thing about quack stamps so I think I would have probably caved in also Phil, but if I had seen a dealer buy 1200 at that price I would have had to get as many as I could afford.
I'm wondering why a dealer would sell at that price????????? |

Swabbie, as she kept explaining to everyone..her husband had a table down the aisle and was selling the higher end stuff..i guess they had purchased a huge lot of covers and stamps which she was moving at a dollar an item...truly catalog disregarded...by very volume she was making money..probably a lot more than hubby...you can find deals at the APS shows .... |
