Now we know where the profit is!

If you don't have a local stamp shop (and I don't) you might try a general hobby shop. Our local Hobby Lobby is 98% "girl stuff" but they do have a small coin and stamp section next to the car models. They actually carry some pretty good magnifiers and I think I remember a perf gauge or two.

BTW, I checked Subway Stamp shop online and they want $5.50 to ship their $1.56 perf gauge. Piracy!!

This situation with the perf guage proves its tough to go it alone..if theres no stamp club around TRY to hook up with another stamp collector..they are around even if you have to dig them out..a fellow collector whos been around a while is a big help if you need a pair of tongs or a perf guage or some glassines and you do not want to fly to Los Angeles to get them...heres another whole new subject...i have been to stamp shows recently and asked ..where are the supplies dealers ??? One told me it was just too much work to hike all their stuff up or down a floor..40 stamp dealers and no one selling the supplies we need..not even a sack of hinges..sounds almost insane doesnt it ????
