Here is a #9 that I think isn't too bad of a stamp. It's actually in a strip of three and that is the way it will stay. Some dealers and collectors would be quick to cut the strip down to a jumbo single. Personally, I think they should find a new hobby...  |

Nice little #24 Type Va. I think I will be bad and take that selvage off so that the true beauty of the stamp can be noticed.  |

Here is another item that tests a persons philatelic morals if there are any to be tested. The two stamps are gigantic 25's that could be nicely displayed off cover. I am thinking they probably could be put back together as a vertical pair. I already had what I thought was a magnificent #25 item in my collection but this cover was irresistible.  |

Rev, Yes. Nice little bonus. Probably wouldn't have bought it without the DT, although I didn't have fight very hard to win! Hopefully it comes in... from Belgium. |

They did not start out as a pair, how can they be put back together to form one? |

It's easy to miss and my image might not be good enough. Try this one. You can see that it is two centerline copies.  |

Since they are mounted on the same cover, and both have the extra wide settings on the right, and presumably on the left, and noting the "chads" from the perf cutting, it would appear that on the sheet the stamp on the right was originally positioned just below the stamp the left. Is that about right? A vertical pair became a horizontal duo? |

I am pretty sure that is correct. What a showpiece that would have been if left intact. |

A great Va, I saw it, I think I was bidding on it and then I had to catch a plane. Travel sucks in soo many ways.
Winston, Congradulations on a great cover.

Thanks, Ray |
