I probably should have waited but I just couldn't help myself. It was marked at 10% of catalog so now I have a new President Washington to look back at me.

That's pretty impressive Jeff. Congratulations.
Too bad about the straight edge. Send him to me and I'll get my hole punch out. Fix him up straight away!

I like it. Been trying to get one for years that is nice and reasonable in price. But that's most likely an oxymoron. Has a nice rhythm though.

Thank you. I really shouldn't complain for what I gave for it. It'll fit right in my motley crew of early presidents....lol

Also I should be straight up about it - it says in the description that it has a small repaired tear (upper right center I believe). Here is the listing if you want to scrutinize.

I been bidding on these #73's for at least 3 months and they always seem go waaaaaay over my stamp budget. This fit the bill and I could afford it and since I'm not ever going be able to spend the big bucks on a wonderfully supurb and certified copy, I figure this would do for now. I hope you like it as much as I do flaws and all!.. it might be junkie but I'm very proud to own it and I can always send it back if I'm unhappy with it says the seller Thank you for taking a look -Jeff

Please keep in mind that these are the sellers images. I will scan it proper when I get it. For what I paid for it I really can't complain because I been actively hunting a #72 for a few months now and they're not cheap! Anyhow just wanted to let you know what I was up to lately.

So do you think I made out allright? I'm happ with it and I guess ultimately that's the point but what's your take on it?

#72



The Farley's (A bit rough looking eh?) ha-ha! There were more singles and single gutter pairs but nothing to get excited about so I didn't bother scanning those.

I think you did well. It was used by someone who lived back then, and it's a piece of our history. Congratulations. You have a tie to the past.
