In my accumulations, "someone" did, as a box lot I bought years ago had over 5,000 black 2c Hardings, and NO perfins or precancels, meaning those had been sorted out.
If you want a custom-tailored obsession, I can fix you right up. |

Ha-ha I'm betting it has a scooter on it though doesn't it? Is it the one in your avatar? I seem to remember you was searching the world over for it, heck I even still keep my eyes open for you on that account! |

Hi Canadian Philatelist, can you tell me what would be a decent price to pay for this? I am thinking about getting one but not sure about the pricing. |

Well that's kind of hard to answer because there are lots of different varieties for this stamp which means multiple values. I already have all the varieties so I only bid on the cheap stuff...I stay within my budget of $3-$4 each for VF used. I'll pay about $1 for ones with faults. Of course you can't always win an auction with bids like that but I try =) |

Well I have three stamps that I seem to be focusing on.... Moto Guzzi race bike on the 1954 San Marino stamp.... Here is the mint full sheet I just bought yesterday.  The Moto Guzzi racer on the Isle of Man stamp...  and yes, the 1996 Italian Vespa stamp and the yellow error (that I now have in my collection (see avatar). Here is the standard stamp.  |

Not a single stamp but a single type. Machins!
I never imagined how anybody could be interested in these until I started a basic collection which leads on to more, much more specialisation.
I also buy any 'Blue Flea' accumulations I come across. I have thousands of them. All yet to be sorted as there are over 100 varieties.
