And yes, I have been focusing on the 1 cent Franklin lately. I have several dozen of these little gems waiting on time to be plated. I have been going mainly after Scott #24 due to the expense of the others. That's not to say I won't pick up one now and then.

Money and time, isn't that the problem for nearly all of us?

Good choices Robert.

I collect Crete and I particularly like the Souda stamp. I think it provided a great end to the stamps of the autonomous Crete state. Nice job by the engraver at Bradbury Wilkinson!

Thanks, nigelc. For some reason, a number of my favorites are blue and engraved. Another favorite of mine is an engraved, blue stamp from Norway.
Cheers, Robert

I don't know if they are my absolute favorites, but I
am proud of the Page 1 in my album, with a US 1 mounted
next to a GB 1 (Penny Black) and GB 2 (Penny Red).

I know the GBs shouldn't really be on that page, and
that I only collect US, but there is something to be
said for every collector, no matter if they collect
WW or not, having a GB 1 in their collection, purely
as a tribute to it being the first postage stamp.

I am also going to arrange my Page 1 to accept one of
my stampless covers, placed over the area designated
for the 1 & 2 Reprints, because I don't ever intend
to seek those 2 out or collect them. Page 1 will
become essentially a tribute to the transition of
mail from it's early roots, to modern with the
introduction of stamps. So the stampless is to represent
the early, GB 1 to represent the milestone transition,
and the US 1 (and eventually 2) to tie it all into my
US collection. I think it will turn out nice.

ratio. are you sure it's not a GB4? the Penney red..
GB2 Penny red is worth a ton of money..
