Stamp Collecting..or Perhaps I Have Gone Mad !!

Stampvirgin You may be right !!

Jerry do you have an example of the sideways liberty cap ? I only have ones that appear to be upright...phil

But it's a good kind of mad. I know I'm touched. Just got in 1,100 covers last night and already got them sorted by country and type.

Now thats dedication...i am looking for a good fix for malware right now and then I can get back in the groove !!

Hi philb

Yes I do, a bunch of them. Unfortunately I do not have a scanner so I cannot post an image.

The liberty cap is upright on the supposedly real stamps. On the reprints, it is always on it's side with the point of the cap to the left. Also, in a lot of cases you do not have to watermark the stamp as the watermark is quite visible.

I think I have your address but in case I don't send it to me offline. I'll try to dig up a couple of Ecuador Seebecks with sideways watermark. As far as I know all watermarked reprints have the sideways watermark,

Isn't it a prerequisite to be MAD to be a Stamp Collector?
