I am happy today! I just got another one of my Italian motorcycle related philatelic items collections three "Holy Grails".

The 1966 "Missing Helmet" from Israel with an Italian Vespa scooter. I had to buy the whole set, but I will sell the others to offset the pain of the purchase.

The other two "Grail stamps" are the 1942 Italian propaganda label attached to a stamp that was never issued (I have that) and the 1996 Vepsa "Yellow error" where they used yellow and not white paper for one sheet of stamps. That one I am looking for! (see avatar)

Regards
Gavin
