Added One Item Today

but the search is so huge, there will always be quarter stamps to be found

Where did you get your album page with all the varieties listed?

Thanks...

My postage due precancel pages come from the album-maker feature in the PSS inventory computer program. This database has only been released to beta testers but I think it will be generally available in early 2014. The plan is to have all the pre-1920 denominations computerized which is a very big project.
Once the dataset is in the program, all the standard functions will be possible: checklisting, wantlists, counts, valuations, and album maker.

Chasa my precancel collection is not specialized like yours..if you could use either of these...

oops..they may be too new for you !

Hey now! that's a really neat collection! I like the specialized BOB material and always a treat to see them! Thank you.

Chasa, are new varieties still being found regarding the postage due Stamps that you've shown here ?

Philb: I collect all the postage dues, and I do have the two you show here.

Stallzer: Yes, new varieties are being found - that makes precancel collecting exciting. The pages I made from the beta classics database reflect the items listed in the Hoover Black Book published in 1940 [aka: precancel bible]. Unfortunatety for me, many items have been discovered since then which will be incorporated into the final computer version. I do not plan to reprint it and remount everything.

Here are some of the later Grand Rapids MI postage dues - all double line electroplates. The album for these was designed and published by Jim Crosby.
