I Received A Great Deal On 1960 Cuba !

I won a lot on ebay for 99 cents and it fills a full page of 1960 Cuba in my International album...3 blocks of four like the one illustrated and a set of 3 all mint never hinged..i do not believe the seller was a stamp person as he had diverse things for sale plus stamp lots at 99 cents each !

Interesting. I've never seen it in a full block before.

i just mounted them and looked in the scott catalog..unbelievable ..the 15 stamps...648-662 catalog 60.75 for 99 cents and 50 cents shipping!

Oooh Oooh jealous, jealous.
I thought <I> was the only one here who
collected Cuba.

Rodrigo, I am one of them worldwide collectors ..on a smaller scale these days..preferring to specialize...i am batching my Argentine duplicates...then will come the watermarking fun !!

Well Good Luck Phil,
watermarking is the burr under my saddle in stamp collecting,
I find it irritating in the extreme, esp with travancore.
Still haven't found anything better than fluid.

No, you are not alone, Rod.





Working on colonial and classic stamps from Cuba.

Good find Philb !
It pays to check out the stamps of sellers like that. It does appear from time to time that bargains can be had from those who sell only a few stamps amongst other stuff.

Nice page Smauggie....now I'm off to see if I have that Flag stamp on the top row !!

Great stamps, philb. Does anyone recognise the tune on the sheet?

The early post-revolution Christmas stamps from Cuba are really interesting.



My thoughts 100%. I wish I could just ignore watermarks, but I can't find it in me (plus it makes a big difference often). But sorting out watermarks is the very worst job I can think of - much worse than seeing if machins are litho or photo!

My worst ever was going through a huge collection of Hong Kong definitives I'd picked up - horrible right up to the 1990's. But at least the stamps themselves are little beauties . . .
