Results of leaving gum on the Ostropa issue
(scan courtesy member rcsd)

This gum had a sulphuric content.

It's just common sense, if you want your stamps to last
lifetimes, wash the gum, if you want to take advantage of
high prices, leave the gum on.

Yes Rod that is one of them!

Little Jonny licked some stamps.
Jonny licks no more.
Because, What he thought was Gum,
Was H2SO4.

If you set your personal goal at 25% or 30% of CV, I think you could track down some pretty nice copies of very many of the "popular" classics. If you held out for only paying 10% of CV, you might have to settle for some small faults.


Cjd - Thanks! This is exactly what I was asking, but couldn't figure out how to ask it!

Lots of useful info here. I think I'll go with Mint Hinged if I succumb to the weakness....

Getting fair prices also depend at what speed you want to build you're collection (life is short). You can build a good collection at lower cost but it takes longer. But then you can be lucky and meet Mr. X who want to get rid of his collection. That is if you go to stamp club... Daniel
