This one has about 20 or so separate datestamps spanning about a month.

PS - are the ones on the back of yours separate datestamps? or are the offsets of the datestamps from the letter that was sitting under yours on the pile?
C.

Well I match your postmarks and raise you a damaged in shipment.

Philatelic order from the Isle of Man to me marked PLEASE DO NOT BEND - with 1/3 of it ground into pulp - sent to me in a plastic bag with an apology - on the back - from Canada Post.

Beyond the obvious damage of your cover, can anyone explain the "Postage Paid" stamp from the Isle of Man? What is the value of that postage? Is it a standard stamp (label) used on international mail or is it something applied at a post office?

It is a stamped envelope.

Thanks for the info. No wonder I couldn't find it when searching for it as a stamp!

Interesting. I've ordered from a number of national philatelic centers and the only one that arrived damaged (and late) was from IOM. It's like they're floating everything from Douglas to Liverpool ...
