Not many dealers there but quality was in abundance. In as quality is a subjective term, quality for me. I made several purchases and I bought from several dealers. My 1st find was a mixed blessing. Its a #24 with the long double curl variety. It was listed as just a #24 so I was excited to make this "find". Unfortunately, it has a damaged bottom. The dealer and I came to terms concerning the damage and I DID NOT tell him about the curl prior to the sale. In as we have delt with each other for many years I told him about it afterwards and offered to make an adjustment on the sale but he stood by our original deal. (Position 52R8)
My next discovery concerns another #24 and I'm hoping this is a position piece as well. It has numerous scratches in the lower left corner. Best part, the stamp is sound and was found in the bargin box. (Position 3L10)
Then I found several covers, which I'll get to in another post.
Including a Flag of Truce cover, Occupation covers, Free Franked, #9 and some others.
