Special Offer To Stamp Community - Rare Opportunity [humor]

This is a special opportunity only to members. You can how purchase the extremmely rare ETHIOPIA souvenior sheet which comes from a insider of the Postal Government of Ethiopia . The death of Postmaster Uben -Con makes this a remakeable offer for only $100.00 .
I will be handling this for the estate and I guarente this sheet never has been in any of the major collections in years past or known by any of the experts . So their opinions are worthless .Now is the time to act .Remember Uben -Con and you will have this sheet .

Which paper type (variety)? Un-watermarked?

I don't get it

I am not being snarky, but I have no clue what this is about .. what is the joke?

This is a preview of floortrader's expected usages of a particular cover from a recent auction catalogue. The full cover can be seen at the link in Jenny2U's post, above.

I won't be surprised to see an ebay listing with "RARE!! Ethiopia proof on card Mega-RARE thick-card variety, unlisted, CV $500!" (though the CV on an unlisted item might be a little over the top, on my part...maybe not).

I still do not understand, but no biggie - I don't collect Ethiopia or anything that expensive. Thanks.

Centerstage, I think the key lies in Uben-Con's name. Say it over slowly, several times in Twitter-talk mentality, and I think you'll get the joke.

The Michael Rogers specialized Ethiopia material had no buyers in the Kelleher auction.

Oh crap I finally got it, thanks Hieronymus!

you-been-conned lol

I understood the pun of the name, but as I said ... still have no clue what is funny. I "get it" when it is something like the parodies created by the Wilkinsburg Stamp Club over the years, but this one was just above my head. I will go back to my cave now.

Gee ,feel bad a few didn't understand my posting .So I am going to make a new offer .
If you donate $50.00 to the STAMP COMMUNITY BOARD ,I will ship you this rare unlisted set of proofs-essays used as postage and as a added bonus you get the 3 modern stamps also .As Cjd said these will be on ebay for over $500.00
