It is nice to finish something. Below is my US Special Delivery collection complete with scott listed color varieties...

It took quite a few SD Stamps to go through to get this complete...

Enjoy!






Also - For a little extra, here are a few other BOB sets including US Special Delivery Airmail, Parcel Post, Parcel Post Due, Certified Mail, Registered Mail, Special Handling..



I am only missing one stamp from the set. The Special Handling QE4a - With a color of Yellow Green

hmm - The photobucket links seem to make these images a bit fuzzier than the originals I uploaded

When the varieties of color are side by side the differences can be seen perfectly.
Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Your collection is amazing.

Thanks Everyone - yes it was fun to put together

The color varieties were difficult to figure out, even using the wonder color guide. It wasn't until I had multiple copies of each stamp until I could distinguish the difference.

Maybe I'll add another post on that. I will do a post shortly on the E5 and E5a differences (dots in frame)

Very nice indeed Eric. I am also close to completing mine, and, after looking at your set, I had to examine mine more closely. I couldn't find the E5 dots-in-frame, as you posted. But I did find a copy of E8 "Top Frame Line Missing". It's amazing what one can find if you only know what you are looking for.

Thats Great Partime - I need to check mine. I was only doing the varieties listed with minor numbers, but, I just checked the Scott Specialty and I see the Frame Line Missing variety...

Great - More varieties to find :-)

While you're at it, be sure to look for the "Joined" versions of QE4. My only copy is the AT joined at Top version.
