I picked up another bunch of complete sets of Berlin from 1967-1971 last night...the guy who specializes in Ryukyu called me over to look at the APS circuit book...it had a Ryukyu C-1 catalog $150 for ten dollars..he said do you think the guy mispriced the stamp ? I didnt think so as the total on the top of the page matched the prices indicated under the stamps...seems there is a slight crease on the GUM on back of the stamp...he advised me to buy it stating that many of those early airmails had slight defects..we shall see !

Phil:
We had the second meeting of the year for the APS. It was a great meeting. Picked-up some used Burma & Gilbert & Ellice Islands stamps (used) for my KGVI album. We also held the first meeting of the year of the U.S. Study Group at the OPS. We discussed non-soakable U.S. stamps.
a great meeting, all in all.

Bob
The closest one is Prince William It is about an hour way . Warrenton is also an our away I did look in to that club, It is billed as a stamp and coin but when I attended there were only coin collectors present and was told that was the norm. I will have to visit the Prince William Club. I do know the club in Springfield does a well received show every year , Thans for all the info I wil let you know about the Prince William club |

This was a regular, weekly meeting of the OPS (Ottawa Philatelic Society). We have a study group, which I chair, that is made up with five or six members who collect United States stamps of some description. The discussion on non-soakable U.S. stamps was lead by the article in Linn's a few weeks ago. Outcome: keep all the current U.S. stamps on paper, neatly trimmed, until a solution, if any, is found. Cheers! David |
