Koala, you have many great classics! I wish I had some of them but my bank account isn't fat enough to afford some of those stamps. Thanks for sharing.

Riley, nice centering on the Arrival of Cartier (Quebec tercentenary) That could be one of the hardest Stamps of all time to find good centering on. In my humble opinion I think the Quebec Tercentenary is Canada's finest and best looking set.

Koala,

Great presentation of a great collection. You have some really great items there!




Thank you, Stallzer! That is a really tough stamp to find in VF.

Just got this one. It is going to the empty space in my album.



.Now chasing a#32..if I can win the super maxi lottery

Gilles le timbre : is that #33??

It looks like laid paper to me (horizontal lines)
... and how did you get it??!

Koala, this is my new acquisition, a # 33. I have been chasing one for a few years, and this time, the price and timing was right. I don't think I'll live long enough to save for a #32... but I am happy with this # 33. Nice cancelleation, excellent perf. A bit off center, but I can't afford the VF or XF ones...

A gem, nothing else!

you don't have to answer here but how much did it cost you?

Do you still have your house?

#33 on ebay. The seller is asking $279.00
I'm still waiting for a scan of the back of the stamp (3 days ago)

Here is a program I use to see "laid paper" in 3D...I took your #33 for an example.

there is also another one for sale at this address. I have bought from this dealer before and he has a good reputation
