David Giles!! You are a phila-heretic!! There shall be no burning of stamps. Except maybe some of those pesky US C3a's.

Rod222 - yes, I like my stamps. One of my completely relaxing activities.

I did a double-take when I read the piece on the stamp car - the fact that it was covered in specimens. For a while, I was heavily into the specimen stamps of Newfoundland. I was trying to rationalize using specimens to plaster a car. Imagine the investment!

Yes, Donna. The mind boggles to think of the conversation around that car between 5 women and that guy as they pasted stamps and applied varnish over the course of six weeks. Cowabunga!
