that stamp with the pox-infected child does take first place in bad taste.

However that may be, pox scan and all, but isn't this thread supposed to be about pre-1950 U.S. commemoratives, at least according to its originator?

I read it in the same way as you Drudenfus.

I'm glad you showed that stamp. It makes you wonder about how the ideas for stamps come up

. I suppose they had their reasoning behind it.

David, don't get me wrong. One of my favorites is the Americana definitive series--and I would love if they had used that Liberty Bell--btw, she is a beauty--but I just don't like the new forever stamp or the paper it's printed on. I do love what it represents.

OK, OK! There have been a lot of good nominations - even the creepy pox stamp.

As soon as I get home I'll post the followup thread to this one. Patience boys and girls!
