A Little Bit Of Not Seeing The Forest For The Trees, Perhaps?

This seller seems to have lost a little perspective:

This philatelic exhibition label was issued by a popular stamp club.

Stamp clubs are (usually) made up of stamp collectors.

Stamp collectors back then liked things like zeppelin airships and upside down vignettes.

So of course they're going to make things like this label.

And probably a lot of them, too.

Jim

p.s. I think I paid about $15 for my copy of this label. Guess I got a bargain?

Lost his perspective?

He saw Zeppelins, it was inverted, and he immediately thought this was the pot 'o gold at the end of the rainbow.

Well, if he holds onto it until 2540, he might get his price....

I for one can never understand why these folks charge so ridiculously and still charge for shipping.

Peter

I would pull the trigger on it but there is no free shipping.

If someone is so completely out of touch with reality to list something like this for nearly two grand, why would anyone else expect any level of sanity or sobriety with any further part of the transaction?



Jim

For a real laugh, people should look at the rest of his material.

I loved the "morning" card (mourning, of course).

I like the Scott 158 with a "green" cancel on the yellow envelope...

or howabout a Doanes on Scott 300 for $879.99?

Delusion + greed = this seller

Nah, probably just easy access to a liquor store.

Jim

To some people it comes naturally, no added incentives are needed.

Ohh, you mean Wal-Mart shoppers, basically?

Jim

I shall henceforth refer to adult beverages as "incentives."

Sounds way more politically correct that way.

Jim

p.s. I haven't used "henceforth" in at least 20 years. Thanks, I think.

Wow. Just wow.

I second that wow. He has a lot of sales, but small denominations, not hundreds of dollars. People are fascinating!

Maybe he truly believes he has a find. Figuring people out is nearly impossible, makes for interesting reading on the Internet though!
