I finally purchased a US 630 for a price I felt good about ($123.00). Forgive the link, but the image quality was terrible after reducing the size, so I just opted to post the URL.

Check one more off the list!

Very nice White Plains sheet there. I've been thinking of purchasing one for a while and tracking some pricing. From what I see it's in great shape at that price. Well done Brian!

So, I say Congratulations on a lovely purchase

Brian,

The link doesn't show the top of the sheet very well so I hope the top of the sheet wasn't trimmed. There are a lot of sheets that were trimmed just to fit an album page, or some other reason.

Other than that, its a great looking sheet and I'm happy for you.
I only got my sheet just a few months ago and paid a lot more for it.

I saw the same thing and took a couple of days before deciding to bid based on the possibility of it being trimmed. If that ends up being the case, I won't be returning it. At 1/3 of catalogue, I paid a fair price. If it is not trimmed, I got a bargain!

Looks like a good deal! Let us know how it turns out. I still have to get around to adding this one to my collection - but with so many other empty spots, it looks like it might be a while from now until that happens.

Very nice Rileysan! I too need this one. It's the only S. sheet I need to complete my souvenir sheet collection so I'm pretty envious but you really made out as far as price goes. Congrats on your newest acquisition!

Here is an actual image of the one you bought. This IS Rileysan's!

Thank you! I can't wait to get it and post an actual photo of it in my album. Registered mail from Canada Post takes 3-4 weeks :(

One of the most coveted souvenir sheets I.M.O. I have bid on them on both stamp-needs, ebay & Declampe but never came out ahead obviously but I WILL get one when the right one comes up you can bet on that! Very beautiful sheet Rileysan!

16 days later ...

I am delighted to report that this sheet is NOT trimmed and is in excellent condition. If not for one (heavy) hingemark on the top-center stamp, this sheet would be never hinged. Huzzah!

On the 630 they sometimes talk about the dot over S. Which S is the one to look for that may have the dot over it?
