What Did You Do Philatelically: Today Or Recently?

@Noocassel, thanks for the additional info, brilliant

DJCMHOH - I agree with Peter, your pages are great, very detailed. That takes quite some effort

Forwarded scan of US 240 to Ralph Trimble for double transfer inquiry. We enjoyed a very pleasant exchange. His enthusiasm for this specialty area really rubs off!

Pulled stamps from my latest ISWSC swap circuit and dropped it into the post. Also slowly adding stamps I bought from APS circuits to my WW collection. Hoping to find time to soak some Japan kiloware this afternoon.

Blaamand Just to finish the information my source was the "Philatelic terms illustrated" by James Mackay. Published by Stanley Gibbons

I went to my regional stamp convention, (NEPA in England) good as usual over 30 displays of 10 or 12 sheets each.
Stamps on sale at prices from 2 pence to hundreds of pounds. Bought 18 covers for £12 mainly British cancels and postmarks. got one penny post pre stamp cover with a nice clear tombstone postmark indicating post paid. I was quite pleased to get an example of a penny red that had gone black with atmospheric pollution. A superb specimen of a "spoiled" stamp.

Today I went to WESTPEX, where I bought:
— five MNH stamps from the 4th Bureau Issue for my U.S. collection (still plenty of expensive spaces to fill!)
— some MNH stamps of topical interest: Russia #2601 (Mesrop Mashtots), Netherlands #1080 (Cartoon Network booklet), Japan #3822-23 (Moomin sheetlets)
— a maximum card of U.S. #2538 (William Saroyan)
— seven items for my nascent "A Mint 19th-Century Postal Card from Everywhere" collection, from Bavaria, Brazil (Empire), Hawaii (Kingdom), Hawaii (Republic), Hungary, Mauritius, and Hanauer Privat-Briefverkehr (private local post in Hanau, Germany, birthplace of the Brothers Grimm).
— assorted picture postcards: two old Japanese cards of women in traditional garb (one postally used in Los Angeles in 1913); three old patriotic cards featuring a woman, a girl, and the French flag; an amusing card from New Zealand of a Maori haka; and a card of local interest, depicting a train from the San Francisco Bay Area's BART system ("Most Modern Transportation System in the World")
— Vario 1C, 1S, and 2S sheets.

I have been mounting more stamps in my British Commonwealth albums. Since I use the print Steiner pages on demand on demand, I printed pages and country cover pages. Then add them to Stamp Manage.

I spent some time last night looking through some Swiss William Tell (and son) copies for varieties and shades. Good thing I have a microscope.

Donated about 300 stamps to the Large stamp exchange group, yes I paid for shipping, with a tracking number I might add, and it felt good. I did something for the hobby and the exchange of stamps.

just donated cv$100.0 in stamp to the large stamp circuit for the ISWSC.org-

Gave CV$ 100.00 of stamps that just wont sell on ebay to a customer that has bought the stamps I thought, 'No way will someone pay for this stamp." Hey got to cover postage and envelopes etc. I hope it makes his day, I smiled...

@91stang:

I look forward to seeing your donated stamps in my next go-round of the ISWSC large stamp swap circuit. :)

Slowly working my way through a T&T precancel approval book.

Spend time plating this new acquisition. perf 11 3/4 by 11 3/4. A rare multiple, and very well centered for this issue. Conclusion: plate position 52,53,54,62,63,64.
